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.
isn't john mayer's blog on his own website? (www.johnmayer.com/blog) this looks like a japanese spoof site, probably the same one that was in the unboxing article a little while back.
All good things to those who wait. MacBook Pro 12-inch

I don't know which is more dreamy... John Mayer or the Mac Book Air.
I'M NOT GAY!
Um...actually, yes yuo are!
Now you are.
At least bi-sexual.
idk, maybe Isaac is a girl. You silly gooses.
@GP:
Then I guess her parents really wanted a boy
John Mayer is a freaking fruit. I guess its perfect he has the MBA.
You sure about that?
Who exactly is John Mayer? Never heard of him.
You've sullied our good name....
Even apple users prefer blackberries over iphones.
Huh? I don't get why you'd say that considering how amazingly well the iPhone has been selling. I am a hardcore Apple user and I want that new Nokia with qwerty keyboard... But still, I realize that most others do not. (My whole family has iPhones, most of my friends have iPhones... Apple's first quarter results show huge iPhone sales... People are iPhone crazy!!!)

mke you should call yourself "larry literal", geez
@ Mke
You do realize that even with the hype, significant price cut on the iPhone, and Apple's aggressive marketing and advertising, the iPhone may still fall shy of the 10 million phones Apple predicted they were going to sell by the end of the this year. This will be especially difficult as the low hanging fruit consumers have already been picked (e.g., Apple fanboys, fashionistas, people whose contracts had recently expired), the economy worsens having the effect of a slowdown in consumer spending, especially on products like iPhones, and new touchscreen phones (see, e.g., Samsung's F490 with 3G/HSDPA, better camera, etc.) are released. By the way, I found it very misleading how Steve Jobs used the smart phone market share to make it seem like the iPhone has more market share than it really does. By AT&T's own classification and a comparison of features (i.e., no push-email, no SyncML, no voice dailing, no 3G or HSDPA, no MMS, no EMS, no USB, no memory card slot, no tethering/not data-capable, cannot open many file types (see word, pdf, excel, powerpoint, etc), no mp3 ringtones, no voice memo, etc.), the iPhone is NOT a smartphone. It is a "fashion phone." In comparison, another fashion phone, the Motorola RAZR, sold 50 million Razrs in its first two years.
Yeah the iPhone was 5th (2nd North America), RIM 4rd (1st North America), Microsoft 3rd, Linux 2nd, and Symbian 1st worldwide (all other smartphone vendors are not even close to them in global sales).
A distance 5th place, ha!

that phone looks like a motoQ for verizon. it could be a red curve, not sure
Who really cares? Seriously Engadget!
You do. Maybe not in a positive way, but you do.
the award for most obnoxious MS fanboy goes tooooooooooo - MIKE!
seriously, you have been all over the place today alone with your stupid vista logo bashing apple. i used windows for years, went so far as to buy a zune. now that i use mac and iPod, i am much happier with my electronics. they just work.
I do it for the lulz
Mike,
This is for you.

Dork of the Year Nominee....
Photoshop. Original link: http://blog.honeyee.com/john/#top
Its not even a good photoshop job. The "Read" link shows the original image.
Who cares? It's funny, and that's all that matters.
Someone missed the sarcasm in the last line.
This is so funny....and the award for pointless Apple referencing goes to......ENGADGET!...yay! A big sloppy kiss from Steve Jobs for you!
Only a kiss???
A sloppy kiss from Steve Jobs and a sloppy fart from John (somehow "john" makes me think of the toilet!?) whatever.
Seeriously, WHO CARES of who holding the Macbook Ars- err... Macbook Air. Overhyped, overpriced, eh?
Superpowered PCs, Superpowered Laptops, UMPCs and Eees are FTW.
lol, i just never get how he got a blog from honeyee.
haha look at the lines around the photos...clearly photoshoped!
o and when u click the link...its the unphotoshoped photo. explanation...
God this is just ridiculous.
How did know one catch this?
"...at photos of himself double-fisting a couple of BlackBerrys."
What the L, Engadget? That's not even clever. In fact, it's just funny. Totally fucking hilarious. I didn't laugh out loud, but I would have if I were 3 years younger and a handle less sober.
P.S. Yes, it all makes grammatical sense.
he took pics of his macbook air while flying US Airways....
if you look close at the pics on his blog you can tell
he's on a plane.... and peep a US airways lable.
lucky bastage! the damn thing isn't in the BIG Apple stores in NYC
and he's got one to goof around with.
MacBook Air looks like a great dish tray :).
I personally would have preferred if Apple released a 10" UMPC Macbook Air and made Air their UMPC line.
LRFTW
People please... it is a slow "tech" news day.
Pure garbage!
You Apple fans fall for it everytime. Save your hard earn money and buy a different laptop.
Um, guys, I think when the article says that this picture is clearly not photoshopped, it's an attempt at a joke.
Is this some form of Engadget humor I don't understand?
Yes, apparently.

There is the actual screen.
Who's John Mayer?
What's a Mac? ;-)
just another way in which john mayer is greater than the human populous.
and thus, people hate him this much more.
wtf
it looks doctored...check the halo glow around the picture itself.... might be a real MacBook Air but the pic of John Mayer might not be legit....
Is John Mayer flying economy/coach?
