Ok, so what's the point of all this? Why do this and not release any actual results? The temperature thing is interesting, I'll give them that, but the most important result - which manufacturer makes the most reliable drives - is left out.
The point isn't to place blame on certain companies, but to shed light on a lot of hard drive myths.
Like a cooler (all around) hard drive is not better than ones that run a little hot. And that drive failures do result from companies more often than random chance.
This is besides the point, but I swear by Western Digital. I own an array of ten of those babies and none have crashed on my yet. My Maxtors, Samsung, and Seagates, on the other hand...
