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.
games? 3g/video capture? decent priced screens? keyboards that work?
soooo excited. make it happen.
There's nothing wrong with the keyboards currently. The computer mice on the other hand...
there are tons of -noted- issues with the macbook pro keyboards.. not responding, freezing, in online forms and such not putting the first letter you type first where it belongs... maybe they're mainly issues with the OS.. but that just opens another whole bag.

kthnks.
Ni i disagree how about everything decently priced..... that would be nice...... for once
@ amitheflamer (or whatever):
what does that have to do with anything? does that fix the issue with their outrageous peripheral prices? their lack of support from many of the game creation companies? does that update fix the keyboard issue on the macbook pros?
having a snappy one word + link retort would probably net you some more cred if it actually made sense, let alone made a point.
cheeky lil bast...
.kthnks.
iDunno. iGiveup. iCan'twait.
I humbly claim to have solved the riddle:
Apple and Adobe Merger to be announced...?
Adobe AIR on iPhone and Apple TV?
See my post:

You're out of the loop. That keyboard issue was a software one, and it was fixed weeks ago:

@ Jeff
I don't see that one happening as both companies have totally discreet and overlapping product lines. Premier stopped being apple a while ago when Final Cut took over. It wouldn't make fiscal sense for Adobe or Apple. My 2 cents is that this is an in-between year for Apple and they're going to spend most of macworld in reflection of their recent successes. The iphone isn't due for an upgrade, Leopard 10.5.1 is just out, ipod was recently redone. The most I'm expecting is maybe a new Mac mini, ultra portable multi-touch Mac tablet, or a better Apple T.V.
Yeah there's something- 3g wireless waves. Its obviously something wireless- take it literally.
@pquistgard
iAgree. iAm with you.
hey my name is andrew s., but i didn't take that picture. oh and its definitely going to be an iplane
Nope, they just bought SFO
Maybe not a whole plane, but how much would an Apple made in-plane entertainment system rock.
whoever took this picture is a turd. a big wet turd brick.
hmm.. did someone break wind?
That was me... sorry
iFart?!
I knew SOMEONE would beat me to a fart joke. CRAP!
All the slogan means is that the kool-aid no longer needs to be ingested. It's now available in a (safe) snortable form.
hmm.. did someone break wind?
iBong.
God i could only hope they would... they actually have made some before out of there own products i read in some apple book.... But still that would be fun listen to music as you smoke. Heat activated lol.
idiot
I, for one, hope for a product that is not so expensive so I don't have to steal... I mean buy it will all my money.
Interestingly, they're using the "Vista font" on the banner.
I doubt it's the Vista font - no way in hell that would get past marketing. But it does look like a less bold version of the Myriad they used to use so it does resemble the Vista font a little bit.
The font is called Helvetica Neue Ultra Light.
Its a nice font. Were you trying to throw a cheap jab at windows by any chance?
Jesus, calm down helloUser, it wasn't a "jab" of any kind, merely an observation.
in addition, hellouser, that's definitely not helvetica neue ultra light. Try again!
The font is called Myriad Pro Light.
The font is called Comic Sans MS. It's great and looks perfect on flyers for top-end establishments everywhere.

iFarted
whatever they launch at Macworld, hopefully that'll cause iPhone prices to come down enough for me to finally spring for it.
wimax! (yep)
Yup. Go go, gadget WiMax. Now you can download your Sex and the City while sipping an espresso, or whatever people do these days.
You may be onto something. Maybe this ultraportable has it built in? Then again, it's not exactly a widespread service. Then again, maybe Apple know something we don't.
iSmoke. Don't breathe this.
Something that Apple make that works!
A Boss who speak much good English!
Wouldn't mind an iPhone with actual _storage_, 3G or Super3G or whatever is what one would want to have nowadays, one of them non-fingerprint touchscreens and the ability to play at least relatively normal video formats/codecs without having to convert everything all the time.
iWeed
Only available through iTunes of course...
Its either a 3G iphone or el jobso is planning on letting off an arse biscuit.
"There's something in the air"
"What something is in there?"
"No, it's 'There's something in the air'"
"What something is in there?"
"Damnit, what's wrong with you Beavis?"
USB-powered apple-scented air freshener?
What about iPods and iPhones that sync wirelessly?
Holographic displays!
Probably either 3G iPhone or WiMax, but I doubt WiMax considering the fact that the only carrier doing it so far that I've heard of is Sprint and they're not in Cupertino, only Chicago and Baltimore/DC - might be referencing more environmentally-friendly products (Greenpeace ain't exactly a fan of Apple).
There's a good possibility its not product-specific though, so I wouldn't bet on anything.
