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.
veronica appears to be tired of all these videos
She is getting cuter and cuter every day
:)
Sorry for taking a high place by replying on this comment but:
Engadget common, this looks so unproffesional to put Veronica on a lot of articles about new gadgets just to make us readers happy. Veronica is most of the time 10 times more visible in the image then the gadget itself. Maybe a special Veronica section for some readers?
Don't get me wrong, I DO like woman offcourse ^^.
Haha I love the picture... It screams "take the fucking picture so I can go to sleep" or something along the lines of that.
LOL I was just going to comment that she looks about as tired of getting her picture taken as I am of seeing her.

I totally agree with Michiel Krol, even though she looks pretty even with that obviously fake smile. =)
I CAN HAS MOAR VERONICA?
Well, now I know what is behind Mona Lisa's smile: boredom. However, the painting would have been more interesting if she also held up something that didn't work as advertised.

Damn...your smoking.
These things are sweet, but I still don't quite get how the whole wireless power thing works. Sure would be nice to cut cords to a minimum around the house.
It works the same way a cordless toothbrush charges when connected to its base station. It works via inductive charging. The intelligence of this system comes from freqency modulation of the primary coil in relation to the secondary which is located in the device. The secondary communicates with the primary to achieve optimal efficiency. I worked with eCoupled to implement this system in our product line but it proved to be too expensive for our application.
Oh wow, sweet. Thank you very much. I look forward to the day when these are on these market and affordable.
Induction-based charging, i think its been around for a while. The only other product that comes to mind that has ever used this (for charging) was that Microsoft/Abacus MSN Wristwatch a year or 2 ago.

To continue on with abark. We are always talking about wanting more battery life, but I think that the real breakthrough will be in faster charging. Just imagine if you could still get your same run times, but to top off the batteries all you had to do was "swipe" (ok might take a little longer than that) your gadget across a pad and you had several more hours.
Hmm, should I go with a Veronica-is-hot joke here?
Maybe I could tie it in with power and heat...
Betty was always much hotter. And Doonesbury was Jughead's love child.
Frankly, I was getting tired of seeing her face on every other Engadget article these past few days but... I dunno, something about this particular shot of her, looking really bored and exhausted and... ennui... it's really sexy ;)
she is pretty hot
She looks bored.

She doesn't look THAT bored. But since it's a Zune, she probably should. Anybody else remember that Munsters episode where Grandpa and Herman are fooling around with wireless power and Lily's beauty-parlor customers all end up bald? And then a day later they grow it all back blonde? Somebody Photoshop this lady blonde. Or as Herman Munster.
"Adapters are for existing devices so you can adapt to them"
Wow!
lawl
lol
She's hot!
Can we PLEASE stop with the "She's hot" comments? I'm sure she was flattered with the first 10 postings of this same exact comment, but I think it gets a little old - even for her. A lot of girls would even consider that degrading, so please have some respect and put some freaking useful content into your comments.

Degrading and fucking annoyinng already. Jeez, just go to reality kings or something and do what you need to do...
yeah and its guys like you who dont have a gf because all you want is to see it... i admit she is very attractive... but if you want to go watch girls go to si.com...
some of us like our hotties mixed with gadgets, not with pigskin.
Some of us don't know what a woman feels like and are desperate to be loved.
I think this is a unrespesctfull thing to do for the producers of this thing...
Hehe, she does look tired....but she's so pretty in this picture! I really question the photographer's choice on this one- who wants to look at the product when the alternative is a gorgeous girl. Now if the product WAS a gorgeous girl, that would be a different story....
HAHAHAH Veronica looks really tired / bored! but shes still hot
Girl + Sex Deprived Nerds = (*_*)
Yeah she's got a great expression on her face, matches the headline perfectly.
Damn can you just show the product instead of Veronica every farking time
That pic is just begging for Captions
"I'm so bored I bet can stuff this whole thing in my mouth"
Exactly. Why do we have to see her every time? It's not like we see Ryan's grill every time he reports on a product. She's a girl, whoopee! Leave her out of the pics and the story.
Wireless power is definitely a nifty idea. Wonder how long before I'll be able to charge up an electric car just by driving through a gas station :D
As a sidenote; Veronica is a vision of beauty.
She is just beautiful. Girl meets Gadget.
Wow she is hot.

I'm not only an immature troll and a douchebag, but I'm also a complete loser who loves getting spam. Hook me up here: complete_chaos_@hotmail.com
Oops, somebody made Ryan angry, grrr ...
Wireless power that is crazy are these like little generators?
lolz at above comments.
btw, Veronica is hawt.
1. i think this is awesome.
2. i really enjoy how veronica seems to get hotter each picture.
3. i think the reason they show her in every picture is because of the male dominated geek gadget market. no one wants to see some dude holding up some overhyped gadget because that isn't anything special. an attractive girl is, though.
yum.
