A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Dude thats my old roommate seriously! and I am seriously not that surprised. . . in a sad sort of way :(
this reminds me of the man who tattoed the Nike logo on his arm. he said it gave him strenght.
the commercial symbols and trademarks are like religious symbols for us today.
What a silly, silly fat man!
Yes, he does look stupid, but you know, he is not stupid enough to get a real Zune tattoo. I am sure there are others here that have actually got real tattoos, they are raised, bloody, red & raw when they are first done. Fatty McGee here seems to be sitting in the tattoo parlor showing off his freshly done work. NOT!
That shiznitz iz fake, sukaz!
Because we all know, anyone who is fool enough to buy a Zune, is way to big a pussy to get a tattoo!
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa..your name is Steve Smith?! Even your name lacks originality. Fat guy like that will prob drop dead of a heart attack before the zune has a chance to be discontinued.....in mmmmm, about a month.
This is quite insulting.
Looks fake. I say fake.
If you have a logo tattooed on you that is for software or electronics - This includes apple, and you are not on of the following:
1) You own/founded the company
2) You write/design the software or electronic device. It's your "baby".
3) You managed to make so much money on stock in the company, you pretty much don't give a damned what anyone thinks.
Otherwise, you're a dork, please throw yourself off a bridge you're far too much of a loser to live.
This tattoo is obviously not fresh. If he had just received the tattoo his arm would be pretty torn up and red. I know this because I have multiple tattoos. I am willing to bet this isn't a tattoo at all but some Henna rub on crap.
He fits the stereotype of the stupid a$$ mo'fo so, I can't say I am surprised ah!
I am the "fat guy" who got the tattoo yesterday. And to all you iPod fanboys errr i mean fangirls. You are almost as sad as the Sony fangirls who are now wheeping over their useless $600 hardware as the 360 is cleaning the floor with all the unplayed copies of Resistance Fall of Man. Do you think I don't own a mirror? Of course I know I am fat as are 98% of you losers who are on a forum site at 8 in the morning.
Sorry man, people are so cruel. Don't worry. I tried to stick up for you before, but no one is decent anymore...dang...
BUT I don't necessarily agree with the zune tat...call me an apple fangirl!!! (in your words...even though I am a guy...oh whatever...)
BUT i do have to agree with your comment on those sony fanboys! LOL AT THEM!
good god, here we go again...
Mr Smith: please don't come back at us with your sorry excuse about "apple fangirls". There are Apple fangirls and fanboys in case you didn't know. As there are ridiculous people with photoshopped/henna/drawn fake Zune tatoos screaming for attention.
Your comments on the PS3 and 360 are just a cry for help. These have absolutely nothing to do with the matter at hand. You're just desperate after being continually mocked for the past hours. And you shall be mocked for the next years if it is indeed a real tattoo. You see, your skin would be red and at least a bit swollen if you indeed had this tatoo done "yesterday".
Please sir, you got your couple of minutes of fame (for a very questionable feat). Now go away. Really.
Dude! I swear I'm you twin brother! We look exactly alike!
that "on a forum at 8am" comment is pretty spot on.
SHUT UP FATTY! You're stupid, you obviously wanted attention & now you've got it. Deal with it Nancy. As far as your shot at iPods & the people who like htem. Here's something for your fat-addled mind to think about. For the rest of time, people will know what an iPod is. It is iconic. Know what that means tubby? They will even refer to all DAPs as 'iPod' even if iPod is long gone.
Like calling facial tissue 'Kleenex' or cola 'Coke' or inline skates 'Rollerblades' or portable CD or cassette players 'Walkman'
Now go back to dreaming about a world where you actually have a chance of ever getting laid.
Or seeing your own balls.
As far as tattoos go, we've all seen worse (think weird spider-web gothic). It's actually not bad. At least you're not a poser and actually like the Zune.
What you need is a "Zune-Life" tattoo over your stomach, like Tupac.
Then people would shut up.
Come on fools, the opposite of a zune tattoo isn't an apple tattoo, it would be an Ipod Tattoo. And i guess i would probably rather have an apple than the word "microsoft" inked on me.
Hey Steve-- I knew a guy back in the late 80s who got a tatoo of an RS-232 port on the back of his neck. As an update, I think a USB on the back of your neck would be a good match for that Zune tat, eh?
Anyone else notice the correlation between how surprised this guy looks and how surprised Microsoft was that the Zune didn't do so great?
It's almost artistic.
Haha, it definitely looks like he regrets this one.

The tattoo isn't real. Obviously he's in a tattoo parlor, right? We can all see the art behind him. If it were really done right then, it would be overwhelming red in the surrounding area, with some blood.
If it were slightly older (minimum of 3 weeks for healing) then it would not look as vibrant. So if it is old, then he wouldn't be sitting in the tattoo artists chair.
Wow. I like Microsoft (mostly) but this is a little over the top. Perhaps his friends bet him money to do it?
he's a zune-a-tick ha!
Well Mr Smith I own an ipod and I'm not a fanboy I just got it because it was the best MP3 player at the time. I haven't got a Zune because I just don't need another MP3 player right now. As for being on a forum at 8 in the morning some how meaning I'm fat. Well sorry to disappoint you there fatman but I workout for 3hrs a day 5 days a week and have 4% body fat. The way you look I'm surprised you were able to make it out your door to get to the Tattoo shop. Lastly I do own a PS3 and I am very happy with it since it has all the games I like. Yes it may have cost me more than the 360 but since I don't spend all of my money on "big macs" and bacon sandwiches I can afford it. Also when I turn it on it works and no "red ring of death" the same can't be said for your precious 360.
So just go back to your level 50 WOW elf and Pac-man cosplay costume (since that's all you could fit in) and leave normal people alone.
I made this in honor of Zune Guy:

Jeez, leave the guy alone. What, none of you are fat?
He probably doesn't need a case for his Zune, he just tucks it in the many folds of his skin.
Lol. He already has a YTMND. http://thezunetattoo.ytmnd.com/
This wont start a trend i think.
What kind of blog goes for the obvious cheap shot at some guy that has questionable taste? Seriously, the artist did a decent job of blending the colors, and it looks a lot better than the six billion Tasmanian Devil tattoos out there.
Ummmmm..........it looks like its photoshop or markers......or that he has had it for quite a while and has an amazing artist that can blend colors like that. No redness or sign that he just had it done.
You might want to click the picture. You'll see the redness in the close-up picture of the Tattoo.
"In 20 years from now, that logo will be adopted by some nazi/commie/al-quaida organisation and this dude will be thrown in jail for being a supporter of that perhaps illegal organisation."
Zune is a Microsoft product. This means he is already wearing the logo of a Nazi/Commie/Al-Quaida organization.
lol
You know....
in a couple years that tattoo will morph from age and/or weight loss/gain...
so it might turn into an Apple logo or something eventually...
Ye shall feel the wrath of the mighty holy warrior Lord Zune. Paladin of the Fires of Holy will smite all who question his AUTHORITY!
Steven Smith did get the logo as a tattoo. Get over it already. You are probably jealous of him for doing it first. Get the guy a job as a Rep for the product.
Why the hatred? The guy clearly likes the Zune and now he has a neat pattern on his arm. What's the problem?
I actually can't believe some of the comments on here. I know people who have tattoos of bands they liked when they were 17, or how about the old classic, the tattoo of an [ex] lover's name? And people are criticising this guy over a Zune tattoo! Wow. Just wow.
Wonder if he has the real thing, not just the logo =)
this is what microsoft make you do if they catch you downloading a pirate version of Windows Vista. Check clause 18.9.2 of the end user license agreement
Hey, I think his tattoo looks great. Quick to judge him. Its better then your ex's name on your arm.
