This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking. We here at Engadget didn’t want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back — so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. We’ll be handing out a new gadget every day to lucky readers until we run out of stuff / companies stop sending things. Today we’ve got eight (8) LG enV3’s (in blue and maroon) for Verizon Wireless up for grabs. Read the rules below (no skimming — we’re omniscient and can tell when you’ve skimmed) and get commenting! Hooray for free stuff!
Special thanks to LG for providing the gear!

- Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but if you want to share your proposal for “fixing” the world economy, that’d be sweet too.
- You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you’ll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.)
- If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you’ll be fine.

An Adense referral can boost a sites earnings. When adding Adsense to your site there are a few things to take into consideration. Some believe it diminishes a brand while others believe it is a useful tool to promote visitation and it makes their content more lucrative.
The deciding factor usually comes down to the commercial goals and the purpose of your website. A lot of businesses that sell products tend to place Adsense advertisements within their website also. At face value this does appear to be an odd move, promoting other services or products to your potential customer base.
Adsense publishers do this to allow companies who provide ancillary services to advertise. As an example companies that sell pillows could provide those that sell bedding a place to advertise and the website owner can make a little coin in the process.
Although this does make sense, there are some that allow rivals to penetrate their audience. There are a few that claim that there are benefits in allowing the direct competition to advertise within your site. If a visitor wanted to look at the competition they could do so through a Google search. This way when they leave to check out a competitor you can make a little coin. Read more...

Sure, its phone lineup has more or less gone the way of the KIRF, but LG’s other endeavors are decidedly more interesting, and this new X13 netbook (more than likely the X130 when it launches) that’s popped up in the FCC is no exception. Compared with the X120, the body here appears to have a slightly wider form factor and the front doesn’t curve quite as dramatically. All the FCC is testing for is Bluetooth and WiFI — sorry 3G hopefuls — but specs-wise, we’d venture a guess and say it’s sporting a 1.6GHz Atom processor, 160GB HDD, 1GB RAM… you know, the same specs found in virtually every other netbook in existence. Hey, maybe we’ll get proven wrong, but with no clue on when LG’s going official with this one, we might be waiting quite some time for verification.
