The Verge got an excellent crew of reporters and a great product team behind it. They worked very hard on this project and I don't think it's fair to call The Verge a "failed promise". So far the product reviews were excellent. The site created a unique experience with their layouts, engaging videos and editorials. The Verge is the only source of any creditable news on all mobile lawsuits. They also did an excellent job of covering the Carrier IQ fiasco and were the first who actually managed to talk to the Carrier IQ employees (ahead of WSJ). Seems like the author of the post is really hurt by the Sphero review. If you read the whole review and watch the video you can clearly see that the conclusion is that the product is overpriced and boring. I'm not sure what else is to look for here. Regarding the Galaxy Nexus review "Lack of opinion": From the review: "As I said when I reviewed the GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus — this is one of the best smartphones ever made." There are multiple examples of their 'opinion' and the quote is one of them. I think The Verge is ahead of other tech sites by a mile and can only compare with WSJ and AnandTech. I think "brooksreview" is really wrong about all this.
