'''DailyTech''' was an online daily publication of technology news, founded by ex-AnandTech editor Kristopher Kubicki on January 1, 2005.{{cn|date=July 2021}} The site featured a prominent "comments" section that acted as the forums for the publication. Users were able to moderate or respond to each post, a template the editor admitted borrowing from Slashdot. The operating revenue for DailyTech was primarily dependent on advertising, with syndication of their news feed also providing some revenue.
== Overview == The schism between DailyTech and AnandTech occurred in goodwill, with the goal of establishing DailyTech as a news site that would not be bound by the NDAs that AnandTech has signed. Anand Lal Shimpi is frequently quoted and featured on DailyTech; however, the two publications compete against each other for readership.<ref>{{Cite web |title=DailyTech Editor-in-Chief mission statement |url=http://www.dailytech.com/blogs/bio.aspx?user=14 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070811190535/http://www.dailytech.com/blogs/bio.aspx?user=14 |archive-date=2007-08-11 |access-date=2007-06-11}}</ref> The DailyTech news feed is also used by other technology and science websites.
As of early December 2015 the website appeared to be inactive, although there was no notice of a change in status. Activity resumed in 2016, but as of May 2021, the web site is no longer available; archives show the last posted article was in late 2017.
==Writing style== DailyTech combined blog-style news with industry interviews and frequent roadmap leaks. The DailyTech editor had a frequent history of run-ins with writers from other publications. He has publicly denounced the writings from competitor Tom's Hardware,<ref>{{cite news |first=Sven |last=Olsen |title=Core Duo Battery Drain Bug Demystified |url=http://dailytech.com/Article.aspx?newsid=775 |access-date=2007-06-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060516210526/http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=775 |archive-date=2006-05-16 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Gizmodo,<ref>{{cite news | first=Kristopher | last=Kubicki | title=On Whining and Embargoes | url=http://www.dailytech.com/On+Whining+and+Embargoes+Dont+Put+the+Cat+in+the+Bag/article8649.htm | access-date=2007-08-30 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070831035715/http://www.dailytech.com/On+Whining+and+Embargoes+Dont+Put+the+Cat+in+the+Bag/article8649.htm | archive-date=2007-08-31 | url-status=dead }}</ref> HardOCP,<ref>{{cite news |first=Kristopher |last=Kubicki |title=To Name or Not to Name? |url=http://kristopher.us/2007/06/to-name-or-not-to-name.html |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070618163850/http://kristopher.us/2007/06/to-name-or-not-to-name.html |archivedate=2007-06-18 }}</ref> The Inquirer<ref>{{cite news | first=Anh T. | last=Huynh | url=http://dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=3400 | title="Rydermark" Cheating Allegations Discreted | access-date=2007-06-11 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070312231223/http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=3400 | archive-date=2007-03-12 | url-status=dead }}</ref> and DigiTimes.<ref>{{cite news |first=Kristopher |last=Kubicki |title=DailyTech Digest: Radeon HD Defect Feedback Demystified |url=http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=8415 |access-date=2007-08-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930015542/http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=8415 |archive-date=2007-09-30 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
DailyTech consistently leaked several generations of GPUs and CPUs. The company attributed this to the standing instruction that DailyTech writers were not allowed to sign disclosure agreements or embargoes.<ref>{{cite news| first=Kristopher| last=Kubicki| url=http://dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=3400&commentid=47657&threshhold=1&red=3510#comments| title=DailyTech does not sign NDAs| access-date=2007-06-11| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110809041226/http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=3400&commentid=47657&threshhold=1&red=3510#comments| archive-date=2011-08-09| url-status=dead}}</ref>
