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.
Why do we have to have "utilize" instead of plain old "use"? Jeremy Reimer did the same thing today in that Chinese Pentagon hack story. It's a little embarrassing.
@Ryan; that's as much as you learn on year 2007, 3dstudio max Version 4 on a spanish university.... yes, version 4. I'm very pleased with the vid though!! A great movie director wouldn't have come with my toaster concept in the same way i won't compete in video quality to a pixar animator! :) Video was support material shown during presentation.
I'm going to hold out for the 4 piece of toast version. Gotta have it!!!
So I guess a see-through toilet isn't totally out of the question. I guess there must be any number of people who would be interested in the inner workings of a commode.
me want.. me want now!
wow, i can aleady see it, fire toast the see through movie featuring 3d glass vision where you can actually see the toast burning at 9.8spm and you can also find the 3d crispyness in the bread, wow the wave of the future!
I am a sad sad toaster made of glass.

someone is gonna fill up the bathtub, be all crying...ready to kick it. And they'll drop this sucker in and it won't work. That could be a great safety feature and a good story for your shrink.
My god, that is certainly the sexiest toaster I have ever laid eyes on.
I'm holding out for a toaster that toast my bread without making it flaky.
Scary!
Nice! I want one...
Ok, I dont know why, but i would totally watch that thing toast my delicious bread al day.
There's even a song about it:

I'd buy that
Maybe the glass slides out and you pop them into the dishwasher. No, that would be too simple. You probably have to buy a special tool and some special cleansers to do it.
I would really like one :D
Oh, now that's a nice looking toaster.
Come to think of it, my family never actually owned a traditional toaster. We've always just used a toaster oven.
Mmm toast sounds good
I have been seeing "Glass" toasters in concept form for at least 3 years now. This is ANYTHING but new.
Post the story when one ACTUALLY hits store shelves... And then again later when the glass pannels burn a child and a lawsuit is filed...
Which parents would let their child use the toaster or leave it in their reach? Apparently only the ones needed to fit your criticism.
Well XEE the same parents that sued because they felt that Lawn Darts were too dangerous, that Harry Potter taught kids black magic, and the same parents that do not want there to be ANY Adult Only games made or sold in the US because their children may purchase them... And the same parents who purchase toys for 6 year olds for their 3 year old child... "But my child is above average" then later sue because their 3 year old choked on a toy made for a 6 year old....
Because they are too lazy to keep tabs on their own children!
@XEE: Which kids are so dumb they can't use a toaster without hurting themselves? Apparently only the ones needed to fit your criticism.
Leaving aside the important fact that this device DOESN'T WORK, an ordinary toaster is far safer than this design could ever be. Even if they manage to make it work, there's simply no way you can have hot-enough-to-toast-bread on one side of a piece of glass without also being hot-enough-to-toast-fingers on the other. This would be two burning-hot panes of glass which would take substantial time to cool down, with no apparent means of removing the toast in between. Contrast this to an ordinary plastic toaster, whose sides become only warm to the touch and which ejects toast safely away from hot (eg. metal) parts.
In short, dumb argument. This is a million times more dangerous than an ordinary toaster, whether you're a kid or not.
who wouldnt want this..i love it
But will it still get id of annoying family members when thrown in a bathtub?
i I'm going to hold out for the 4 piece of toast version. Gotta have it!!!
This is a repeat from here (or maybe gizmodo?) from a year or so ago.
Now this is cool! No more looking in the toaster or popping out the bread prematurely...hmmm
This is the best thing ever. Can I fit a bagel in there?
I'm waiting to see how the transparent grill will look like
