I think ars technica writes bad articles, but on a very wide range of subjects.
Very few of the writers seem to be have specialized insight into a particular area rather than a general engineer / nerd bent.
For me as a game developer, I find their game reviews to be the worst. Every now and again they will have one and they are always massively unbalanced. Just a regular guys unfiltered opinion, may as well go on any random message board and get hundreds of equally or more valid 'reviews'. They'll often pan a good game because they thought it was hard, you can hear their 'frustrated cus bad at vidya games' coming through in the article.
I think its obvious that one of the writers was playing the game anyway and decided 'hey I can milk an article out of this' .
