Garbage article from Engadget
This is the most bs article I've ever read from Engadget. They've lost every ounce of credibility in my eyes.
..
This absolute dumbass basically says that he knowingly installed an unofficial 2.2 update for his Droid X, also acknowledged he knew Motorola wasn't going to provide a way for those that installed the leaked 2.2 a way to go to the official version (like htc did), acknowledges that there are risks of bricking his phone by doing so, ends up bricking his phone (cuz again, he's a ****ing dumbass). Then has the BALLS, the NERVE to basically say that it's Googles fault and they should require all carriers and manufactures to provide a way for the people that knowingly take the risk of rooting or messing around with their phone to get back to normal should things go wrong. And also basically says that this is a "serious" issue with Android... Is this idiot serious????? If you root your phone or mess around with it in any way other than how it came, you know the risks. YOU are responsible for what YOU do to your phone. It's NOBODY else's fault other than your own if you root or do anything to your phone because YOU have acknowledged the risks, and went forward with it anyway. How Engadget can seriously put this article out is appalling. Congrats Engadget, you have confirmed what I've always thought. All of those editors have life sized blow up dolls of Steve Jobs stuffed under your bed.
"Once I left the reservation and installed that leaked 2.2 build, I was gone for good -- no official path back to the fold exists. That's not true on other platforms: if I was running a jailbroken iPhone, I'd just restore it with iTunes, and it would be factory-fresh with known software. That's simply not the case with Android, and it's a problem -- Google can't keep implicitly condoning Android hacking and trading on the enthusiasm of its community unless it requires manufacturers to provide restore tools for every device. Sometimes you just want to go home again."
REALLY????
Ok Chevy.. Every time someone decides to turbo or throw nitrous in their camaro or corvette you BETTER provide a way to go back to stock. And if I blow my motor you should be required to give me a new motor... HA.. Lets see how good that works..

On the bright side, I don't think they care about these gadget news sites too much.
