There are many developers on the CyanogenMod team that are still dedicated to further development. There's been little progress because they're all waiting for a new version of android, and more recently the kernel.org hack put a halt to current efforts. I think reports of CM's death have been greatly exaggerated.

I usually take someone at their word when they bother to include units. Also, I've never met any men named Samantha, but there's a first time for everything, I suppose.

If only there was a way to ascertain the details of the article being discussed...

For the millionth time, this isn't true. Please stop repeating this. I am on an unlimited plan. The data is unlimited. That said, I am grandfathered in and new customers won't be able to get this plan.

For what it's worth, the event page seems to have been revised but sits at a different URL, here.

On the top floor of a three story building, felt a pretty good wobble.

Presumably the source will be opened up again with the release of ICS, which is supposed to be a "universal" Android that can play nicely on any device, phone or tablet. I'm not sure I completely agree with Google's decision not to release Honeycomb source - you probably wouldn't want to run it on a phone, but for example the Nook Color is supported by CyanogenMod and possibly could have benefited from Honeycomb (right now it runs Gingerbread with some "tablet tweaks" that the team provided). But bottom line, this phone/tablet divergence in Android is set to re-converge with next release, perhaps late this year or early next year.

It's an important detail that some are worried about - you provide your phone's information (not sure how much personal info is required) to their unlock web tool in order to get a "key" (probably a flashable .zip file) that will unlock the bootloader. But, say in the near future you have a hardware malfunction - are you now told "we see you're on the unlock list - sorry, no warranty for you"?

Read the summary, slowly, and try again.

Agreed - the fact that this constituted "evidence" at all is laughably ridiculous.
