Update: Word on the street is that Canadians can get Zuned up this spring, so start saving your Loonies.

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.
Canada's better?
where are you going with this?
Zune isn't the iPod's hat...
No hate for Canada or Zune guys, just poking fun.
Canada's bigger than the US, and we're on top. If Canada and the US were in prison, the US would be our bitch.
Meh.
Why bother with the Zune? most people in Canada have Ipod, Creative or Sandisk. Zune is coming in too late.
I think they should stop selling all music players in Canada
you know, seeing how everyone already has one
The trolls abound tonight!
Thats an AWESOME picture.
Wow i didn't know that the zune wasn't sold up here. I mean theres a few at some local stores here. Still they don't come nearly as close as to the new 3G 8GB Nano i got at Bestbuy for 100$ (new in box and all).
Bring the originals to Canada! Can't wait!
Yes! 90.3 KEXP rocks!
Yes, KEXP rocks, but why would the Canada Zune have a Seattle station? Microsoft is just trying to be indie, as all indie people listen to KEXP in the Seattle area.
Let's do a little test on the engadget rankings..
Canada Sucks!
Land by itself does not a country make. When you insult a country you, people of said country will tend to see it as insulting them. If it is truly possible you didn't know this before, now you do ;|
no one denies your attempt to be funny. It just seems it was a failed attempt.

Your insults were not personal at all. In fact, they were hilarious, but probably only to me. I found them hilarious because I find the funniest things in the world are when people broadcast their stupidity and ignorance without even knowing it. You see, the majority of people here will think you are an idiot. I know that at times the greatest minds in the world were thought to be idiots by many; however, on those occassions these minds had evidence, hence our no longer thinking of them as idiots. In this case however you have made a claim that is impossible to qualify because you have used terms that are far too broad and failed to produce evidence, and counter-evidence to your antithesis, that is why you are an idiot. You see, the idea of free speech is not a right that guarentees morons like you the ability to speak their mind; rather, it is a right that allows those with unpopular but empirically supported ideas to be heard. In sum, you are an idiot because you have made a claim and not provided support. I think you can learn a lesson here, the process of belief is a relationship between thesis and support, you need both for anyone to believe you. Withouth both, you are just a ranting idiot.
That being said, I think I ought to follow my own advice. My idea: you are an idiot. My proof: your rantings.
No you still don't get it do you... I didn't try to insult anyone! I said that canada sucks, which it does... People like you get offended, hop up on the proverbial internet soapbox, and hope that by acting like you are in the moral majority, people will recognize you as a superior being and thus love and adore you... In fact, you are acting as much like an idiot as I am... Only problem is that you are taking it seriously, and I'm just having a good time! How hard are you hitting those keys when you type this stuff? Is your temperature rising? I did a little research and read some of your other posts here... Turns out that I'm right, you're an idiot, and you make posts like this all the time! I just got bored today, had nothing to do but read CES coverage, and make some silly posts for fun!
And free speech means that I can say whatever the hell I want. It also lets you call me a moron or idiot or whatever you want too!! And neither of us will get arrested for it!!
Did you get off on your last idiotic rant or can we expect another one?
Hey Big Dave! You said that you came to Canada and hated it? Well thats because we protect our sheeps up here! Baaaaaaaaaa oh and we want to send you your velcro gloves back but you didn,t tell us your address.

Hey mike!!! I'm an idiot but this guy is perfectly ok?? WTF?!?!?!?!!?!???!!?
This Canuck has had a Zune for months.
It was obvious that Microsoft was bringing the Zune to Canada because the packaging is in English and French, and unless they're catering to the cajun crowd, then Canada would be the next logical place.
@big dave
Hey way to go with totally copying mikes retort to you. You know the one that is six posts (and yes that will require two hands to fiqure out) above this one. Loser!
