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.
Ipick
i meant, iPrick
beautifully designed User Interface like this just can't help but bring tears to your eyes!
#@$%!$%@ Way to go Apple!!
I wish I was special,
you're so fucling special.
Eww, you creep.
But I'M a creep!
Does it support LOL ;-)
lol. . . So Ryan, was it YOU who got curious enough to try 'em all out?? Hehehehe. . .
It seems to me that's what most sane users would attempt first @ putting the correction and completion through the hoops.
* F*ck
* F*cks
* Sh*t
* Microsoft
Made me laugh...
haha no one should say Zune
This is one of the funniest post on Engadget I have seen in a while.

F*ck
F*cks

Apple?
Apple was already included by their allowing you to type sh*t.
...
Stop with the iPhone already. This isn't anything important.
Stfu! Don't like all the iPhone entries? Go make your own gadget blog.
Your right, it's not at all important, but it's definitely funny.
Who deluded you into believing only important things make the news? If there were other things to report, then they would. They're idle and are amusing themselves, you're idle thus responding to it, we're idle for reading it, and others are for doing it.
I see nothing wrong with filling the space. Some people obviously care enough about it, or are idle enough to read it. If you were indifferent (thus truly didn't care) you wouldn't be responding. Therefore, by responding and creating traffic you ironically validate it's newsworthiness.
They are still doing a better job than gizmodo....all you see there is iPhone...
Which is worse: iPhone news on Engadget, or Paris Hilton news on CNN?
Does it work in India, suppose if I have purchase apple iphone by currier?
Pls. revert.
can you write Zune for example and save it in the dictionary?
Wait, I see what you did there...
It should have most (if not all) words from the dictionary library in OS X... so Mac users can check their little application to see what they've got available. Plenty of profanity in there if the "Parental Controls" aren't enabled. =P
Come on guys, there are kids who read these pages:
Write M*cr*s*ft and Z*ne please!
I seriously doubt that reading a few obscenities is going to corrupt any children. Likely, they were corrupted long before they started reading Engadget.
Z*ne ?!?!
man, you people are NASTY!
It was taken from the Apple Product development and review meetings.
Whlie I undretsand taht bleeping out a lteter is poliitcally corrcet, isn't it a knwon fcat that we dnnoot process evrey snigle letter upon reading anyway? Hence one can sitll raed soemthing lkie this.
Huh?
; )
yes, but that only works so long as you actually know the word in question. The idea behind 'bleeping' parts of a word is that there is, somewhere in this world, a child who doesn't know the word 'f*ck'. I've yet to meet this rumored being, but hey, it might be true.
and let's for a second imagine said child actually reading engadget leisurely.
(yeah, I found that thought amusing as well).

I already understood the logic behind it, even demonstrated that in my opening words. I then also demonstrated that understanding by example. As such, what was the point to your retort?
If you were talking just to talk, cool ... I am primarily a journey oriented person and truly appreciate such sharing. If you were doing so to elaborate for others an understanding that I already 'demonstrated' by example ... cool, I even appreciate that. Though if your intention was greater than that, please enlighten me.
Regardless I have also expounded upon the futility of such logic as a 'method of consideration' in my initial sentence of this reply. It's not really personally considerate at all, it's merely a media-centric consideration of standards ... and not the actual readers. There is a significant difference between the effects of omitting / censoring / replacing a word entirely for the sake of the reader, and merely censoring a single letter for the sake of a hypothetical child that doesn't even know the word ... that probably wouldn't even be reading it in the first place.
So really, what's your point?
yeah.. I was amazed when the keyboard not only correct me when try to type wtf but it also capitalized it for me. Allowing me to successfully type "WTF is wrong with at&t" in an SMS message i was sending. on that note one can only that the service gets better (it was a bit spotty in my area for a bit) because the device is so lovely.
Ok censoring 'bad words' is laughable usually, but seriously this is ridiculous.
what "minor" doesn't know all of these words and reads engadget? 5 year olds?
I would be surprised if they screened txt messages for terrorist activity.
What about the other words George Carlin said you can't say on television?
They arent built in. The iPhone learns the words
XFD, now that's classic :]
It's all in good fun, man, lighten up.
Does it support iphone and ipod, and steve jobs
If you type in Cunr it replaces the 'r' with a 't'.
now that's just not right, but good thinking I guess?
damn, samuel jackson's gonna be pissed off when he finds out "MOTHERFUCKER" is not in there.....
I am so motherf***ing tired of these motherf***ing phones on this motherf***ing blog.
-Samuel L. Jackson, "Phones on a Blog"
Quite surprising, but not really a big deal, unless for some weird reason it wouldn't learn new words.
I'll be yawning until I have multi-language text completion in multiple languages on the same phone... Including Asian language input support.
It may not know f*ck or zune separately but together f*ck zune it knows for sure
Apple threw in some 'hip' texting help for those who are bragging about their new phone.
EX. - (Messages Vary from user to user ('nuff said))
It also has "l33t" in it.
Zune this shit, man!
