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.
Power loss from a Danish wind turbine that tried to play Doom?
Oh yes. I think that's it!
I know someone who works in an apple store and they said new macbooks are on there way today.
I believe you are mistaken, good sir.
I heard the wind turbine tried to play Crysis on high.
And it gave up the ghost after realizing how depressingly low the "fun factor" to "money spent on hardware to actually run the game beautifully" ratio was? :D
Yes, apparently he didn't get the memo that graphics don't necessarily equal fun...
quit bitching because you can't play the game, The scary part about Crysis, is it actually IS fun, while having those fancy graphics. No one expected that, which is part of the reason it is such a big deal.
Average 91 with a lowest of 80? Fuck your right, this game did blow ass:

holy shit you owned the original poster hard bro here have a red bull and bask in ur glory
"what for?"
Getting blog sites to advertise for them!
So true. Honestly, what kind of site needs to be taken down so that they can add new products to it? I don't see Amazon go down for a new book, or Ebay go down for every new listing. Can't Apple build websites or is it really a publicity stunt?
Engadget writers:
*Have a trainee hit the refresh button on the apple store nonstop*
*Trainee discovers that the store is down*
*Chaos breaks loose in Engadget HQ*
*Immediate post on Engadget website*
*Mac Fanbois everywhere go crazy, some 'splode upon hearing the news*
Clinton 08
...yeah, no.
hilary spambot
Hilary spambots comment on Sony's cellular developments now?
No, not to Sony products, only to Apple blogs
Check his comment history, fool.
He's only made two comments (including this one), and the other one was about a Sony cellphone.
Jan 31st 2008 3:17AM are you kidding? I have the K790 Sony Ericsson, one of the best phones i have ever bought.
Yup, sounds like a definite plug for Hillary over there as well.
Most could be forgiven for mistaking today being 'Super Tuesday', howeever, I have to assume the irony is lost on you. But what do I know, I am just a fool.
Look up the word 'Tosser'
Nevermind, got myself confused.
Mentioned I was tired in a later comment.
What the hell Cliton 08' have to do with this topic...
SDK!!! (please?)
Let's hope the STORE isn't down for an sdk.
refresh resfresh refresh.......
For shits and giggles, of course.
maaan,
you have been on engadget for ages! All of the posts in the last couple of hours have had hundreds of comments from you!!
Maaaaaaan.
So I'm going to see this post every Tuesday in my Engadget RSS feeds, am I? Give it a rest, guys, and just post the actual releases once they're announced...
there was a rumour that the SDK was going to be delayed a further 1-3 weeks. but not sure of the validity.
would the site need to do down for that though? is it a purchasable product?
damn, sorry, i looked away that was a reply to WS
Gavin, it works both ways - so just give it a rest.
Just for the record, these announcements are some of my favourite Engadget posts. It's not always every Tuesday, and what does it matter, if it bothers you just click past it like all the other less interesting news items posted up all the time.
One day they'll forget to take the site down on a tuesday.
Watch the papers and you'll see a sharp increase in suicides!!
This is not a prediction.... it is truth!..
I think its a given we will see newmacbookpros. I am curious what the iflip listing is, would be nice to be a tablet. I would like to see a complete refrsh of the macbook, i am tired of the same white thick case.

Apple Air. Like real air, only twice the price and plenty of fancy packaging.
It's already for sale in Japan.
New MBPs! Finally!
I've been waiting since September :D
It took a little while for that to show up. Buying a new MBP this afternoon? I hope so. This sillyness has been going on too long. Thank god my old computer isn't quite dead yet.
Yeah, im waiting at least a month AFTER the MBP's come out before I even think about buying one.
When I bought my MBP it had some weird video problem, genuis hooked me right up with corporate, they asked if they could keep that one rather than repair it to send back to the engineers in the valley, gave me a new one and all this free shit, it rocked. :-D
german store is off as well.. seems like a bigger one.. YEAH!
Ditto for the New Zealand store. Whatever it is, it'll be a global release. Not like the price cuts on the shuffle (we are still being charged $104USD - and they wonder why it won't sell).
hehe :D kinda strange, our world is so small.. obiously there are at least two people sitting in front of their computers, one from germany, one from the other side of the globe, in NZ, 12 hours between us and all we gotta do is chatting about the apple store :D
These Apple marketing guys are good. Supposedly today is also the big day for Lenovo's ThinkPad X300 aka the MBA killer. So, What if the MacBook Pro gives you 13" or 15" of thin, drive, ports+connectivity glory? Wouldn't that steal the show today with not one, but two or three of those laptops? Must admit, nobody puts a show like Apple.
Also must admit, nobody speculates as wildly and feverently as Cupertinites ;)
Yeah, there's just one problem with your little comment (aside from the obvious).
The X300 is not a "MBA killer." It's a thin and light laptop for the working (wo)man who wants to be as productive as possible without lugging around an 18.4" laptop (I'm looking at you, Acer).
It was almost completely finished before Jobs took the stage with the Air.
even the hong kong store is down this time... maybe this time's for real
am kind of glad that i added some call options on friday
OMG! So I'm not the only Hong Konger that is capable of reading Engadget. =)
not just fanboys will be happy
normal people who want a good laptop that can run the best or both worlds (or all three if needed) will be happy too
ahh, i see a new breed of covert fanboy emerging.
UK down too.
updated regular MacBooks.
