I doubt a newspaper is going to print that Verizon "gave the final F*** YOU" about anything.
EDIT: Woah!
First of all, I've read the LA times plenty and that is not at all what their text looks like.
Second, funny that the URL on that screenshot said 10/19
Third, I just got off the phone with a VZ exec who said while he can't comment/doesn't know the release date he is still waiting for it himself and VZ people are getting hands-on training on the phone right now.
LMAO that newspaper article is CLEARLY fake!!

So, I was curious, what are people's thoughts on some of the tech news websites out there?
I'm talking about CNET, Engadget, Gottabemobile, etc. etc. Any opinions or recommendations out there?
Personally, I originally liked Engadget until I found out they seemed a touch biased towards the iPhone, but lately, with the iPhone 4 fiasco, they have been showing their ability to be fairly neutral....That is, of course, until they almost completely trashed my new tablet PC in a review a few weeks back.
CNET seems to be pretty stable and gaining in reputation, but their news does seem to be a bit slanted as well.
I have seen a lot of websites give XDA lots of respect over the past year though, that really feels good.
Try Digital Reviews (I'm biased ).
Engadget is the best i think. Lots of pictures and detailed info.
Gizmoto.com is good lots of strange tech

They definitely know how to cover products and SOME events. I think they pour all their resources into covering Apple events, and I know that it's just great for traffic, but you got to have that techie conscience that tells you to put equal effort into other events as well!

Off topic is not considered a news
But I invite you to make an application/tweak/theme/skin/ROM, etc and for sure will be published
Oh but national holidays like national sea monkey don't wont get published!
CNet covers who pays them the most ad money. That tends to be Apple.
Gizmodo for some reason is huge Apple fanboy bias.
Endadget has some slight bias but not as much as the others which is why I tend to stick with them out of all the other blogs.
Mine are:
1. http://www.wjddesigns.com/ (shameless plug)
2. Engadget Mobile
3. Gizmodo

Where can I find this Gobi desert ROM? Is it AOSP based? Also, do the leds work correctly? Finally, if I become a nomad as well do I have a chance to get Froyo faster?

Well, I've been watching all my Lakers home games and some ufc fights on atdhe for a long time - no problems.

Quality isn't great but it's a pretty popular website to get access to certain sporting events.
