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.
Wait....if i wanted to look like a tool....couldn't i just grab a badge clip and some string and do this myself? Are the safety and weight requirements of a headset leash that strict?
Great: Now you can steal headsets without having to touch them!
I predict hilarious situations where you sneak up to those guys from the back, remove the clip and run away while they are talking, Or atach the clip to something (or someone) else...
This thing lets the diehard trekkies dress up as Bajorans (sp?) ala Deep Space Nine. The blinking blue lights on most BT headsets completes the Trek look. Sure to be a HUGE hit in the conventions. Get it while it lasts! (Nose ridge wrinkles not included)
It is not meant to hold the earpiece in place. It prevents whiplash when you get rear-ended while driving. And as an added bonus, during an accident, the earpiece wont fly off your ear and change the radio station.
Funny thing is that I saw one of my dad's friend with something similar. He just used the neck strap that came with his flash drive. Then of course my dad wanted one as well.
Did you inform them both of just how ridiculous they look?
not sure why, but this reminds me of something steven seagal would wear.
You'll rip your ear off.
How much you wanna bet 10 years from now this will be in the "stupidest inventions in 2000-10" list. Top 3, losing only to the Zune and some device that operates with as much annoyance as the paperclip circa MS Word 2000.
This has got to be the one of the top ten craziest things I've ever seen on here. What next, Vince from ShamWow?
I completely get it the gadget ok - fill a need right right.. and you know what's so sad? This freak'n "tool" will probably make like a bizillion dollars off this thing while the guy who invented the BT headset is probably begg'n for rice somewhere. I agree with whoever up there that we'll see this silly thing on every convenience store counter in the next 6 months.
Would it make me a "tool" if I ordered one - I only ask cause I am about to click the "buy now" button ..... I am now an official moron.
Hey, mall douche bag guy... good idea, you got your $, - now send my $hit!
Pretentious? Maybe when BT headsets first came out. Nowdays wearing one makes you:
a) a nerd
b) a douchebag
c) socially inept
d) all of the above
There are few gadgets on this earth that I loath more than bluetard earpieces. The only time I would even consider using one is while driving a car, and generally I would rather focus on driving instead, and wish more other people would too. When did these godawful things become a $*&@^ fashion accessory? Goes great with a Segway I guess, and the only thing worse than walking around with a retarded earpiece in your ear is walking around with one dangling on a lanyard from your collar.

I use a BT, I will be purchasing this!
I have always used the neck strap and think this will be way better. Thanks for the product, a lot of us WILL appreciate it. Don't listen to these guys on here - they really don't have a clue as to "working" for a living so "hands free" does not mean much to them being that everything is free in life.
If it were a bad idea, Engadget would not have reviewed it period, they only get about 500 submissions a day. Furthermore, being that is is not an electronic item, that puts you in the top 5 percentile on this site. As for all the name throwing and general disrespect for this site, I can only imagine what the moderators in here are thinking. I guess if all these guys would have called him GAY instead of STUPID the admins would have deleted half the comments posted. Honestly, I wouldn't advertise or submit a new product on this site if it were the LAST web after seeing all these sophomoric comments ride.
Shame on the moderators!
Great Product Idea - Hope you do well with it - I am buying one as soon as I am done with this.

lmao @ douche bags who wear blue tooth pieces..
Instructions:
1.) Look at bluDANGLE
2.) Have a real good laugh at the name and the entire concept. I mean, laugh really hard and for a long time.
3.) Follow through with the very first choice you know you made the moment you laid eyes on it, by never buying it.
4.) Forget all about it just like you'd forget all about the sludge on the bottom of your shoe, and go do something else like watch TV.
The end.
5.) Realize that I'm just joking around. Buy it if it makes ya happy! But I won't be... I've already followed numbers 1 - 4.
interesting / silly ? maybe
but I will put this in for the obvious haters:
last century dialog between guy who invented shoelaces and engadget hater types 1 & 2;
Guy who invented shoelaces: Look what I made, it will help keep shoes on your feet! I call it shoelace..
/Engadget hater type 1: Crapgadget
/Engadget hater type 2: Shoes are over rated you tool, I wear clogs and only douche bags wear shoes.
Guy who invented shoelaces: How do you make a ding dong understand they are a ding dong if they are a ding dong?
/Engadget hater type 1: Huh?
/Engadget hater type 2: Yeah, only dong dongs are worse than douche bags... lol!
Guy who invented shoelaces: I couldn't agree more, you guys have a nice day.
(all walk away)
/Engadget hater type 1: Dude wait up, my shoe fell off again.
/Engadget hater type 2: Come on douche bag keep up! (clop clop clop clop)
Moral of this dialog: God must love idiots for he made so many.
*peace*
