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.
Its a killer tat, in a killer place. And sorry, you guys have shitty taste in girls. She is totally smoking (that means she is attractive douche bags)
haha i know right!
im like shit, i knew i was nothin, but now, where does that put me, lol. j/k
That tattoo is pretty bad (as in low quality), and it's in a highly visible place. She should of gone to a better parlor, or even better went to a real tattoo artist who would create a highly stylized version of the android. A good tat is a piece of art that needs to reflect not just the recipient but the artist too, and I could imagine some great things being done with the Android. I still can't believe the newest generation of punk wannabes that ruin their canvas with shit tattoos. A couple hundred extra dollars goes a long way when you're talking about a lifetime.
The girl is cute, in a tom-boyish way that I find attractive. I'd be surprised if she has actually ever ran a linux distro on her computer other than Failbuntu, though. Also, she's too hipster-ish and was probably not even alive during the time of the commodore. And her mood is set to "Famous." So fucking annoying...
I'm 23. I was very much alive at the time that I was using the Commodore. In fact I was 4. My linux distro is Suse (yeah yeah, fire away). And my status is always set to 'famous' because I
So's got that ensign Ro thing going on, sans Star Trek, and sans geekness.
To the complainers.
Kommodore's tattoo however 'dumb' it may seem to you has done more to promote Android than complaining about her seeking out attention. Doesn't matter if she really is seeking out attention or not, because its not like she's doing something that is hurting the Android cause.
Complaining about it, generally being jerks and saying nothing positive about her agenda isn't helping. If anything her giving a tattoo however trivial it may seem to you shows how much more she cares about Android.
Think before you type, see the positives before you go ranting and raving, because ANYONE can be cynical rat-bastard.
Only dates robots?
.......
well, I just found out that these comment boards don't show anything in between < symbols.
Anyways, in the middle of those there ...'s, (^^) it's supposed to say:
(googling bionic arms..)
She is a cutey...
Hey, isn't that the lead singer from Tokyo Hotel?
She looks like Lisbeth Salander, from the novels trilogy Millenium by Stieg Larsson… very much
Attack of the raging neckbeards around here.
I figured I'd wait until the majority of Hater-ade has been spilt all over my article before addressing the concerns posted herein. My last comment was truncated so let me see if I can get all of the issues addressed at once.
1. The tattoo is very much real. It's only a couple days old so it looks crumpled and crappy. It was drawn cartoonie for a reason. Reason being that's how I wanted it. I really don't feel like I need any better reason than that. It's upside down on my arm because it looks right when I look at it. I don't get tattoos to show off to other people so I don't care if it looks upside down to you. It's high up on my arm because there is a burn scar right above it which would have probably ripped open during the tattoo process and ruined the whole thing. I got android tattooed on my arm because I think the robot is cute, and at the same time it supports the open source philosophy which agrees with my belief that the purpose of technology imo is to enable the FREE exchange of information, ideas, and applications or other technologies that make OUR lives simpler, not just the lives of the CEO's. Welcome to 2009, a time when laser tattoo removal is cheaper than the cell phone that inspire the tattoo. If I don't like it in 6 months I can just take it off. The attention generated from this tattoo was unexpected for me; I am not the one who submitted myself to engadget, and I was hesitant to even agree to be posted due to the simple fact that I don't thrive on or necessarily even enjoy attention. I didn't even HAVE a MySpace page until yesterday, which I only created in order to allow the people who APPRECIATE my tattoo an avenue through which to demonstrate said appreciation.
2. I am a tech geek just like the rest of you. My MSi wind tri-boots Windows 7 beta, Mac OSX and Suse 10.1. I've held gainful employment in tech related jobs. And yes, I was alive for the Commodore 64. I was 4 when I started using mine, and it is responsible for the amount of knowledge and love that I have for computers and technology today, hence the namesake. I am an avid web desiger, fluent in HTML, PHP and MySQL, as well as a graphic designer fluent in Photoshop.
3. Unfortunately, I am not a lesbian. If you guys are any indication of males overall, I wish I was. However, I am happily engaged to Allen ( a GUY) who is my top friend on MySpace who is also deeply geeky and appreciates the fact that I can be smart and tech-savvy and beautiful at the same time. We met while both working for a web hosting company. I take the androgyny comments as a compliment, and btw maintaining even-toned pallor is a CHORE. If I was tanorexic, I'm sure you'd all have something negative to say about that too. As much as I don't like the word hipster, I guess I can't argue with it.
4. I want to thank all of the supportive people who had nice things to say. Those of you who understand that I did not get this tattoo for any of you or for Engadget, or for Google or anyone else. Two things went through my head when I was asked to have this article written: "I will probably get a lot of love" and "I will probably get a lot of hate". Even though I wasn't expecting any of this, I'm glad there were a lot more supportive people than there were bitter basement freaks.
5. Wtf is PS3 home?

6. My status on MySpace is set to famous as it always is on status sites because I like myself and dont give a f*uck what you think, I'm a g*d damn celebrity every day.
For those of you who believe I was only after my 15 minutes, thanks for participating in giving it to me. I got a good laugh out of all of your bitterness. I hope that whole eHolier-than-thou arrangement really gets you guys somewhere in life, love and the pursuit of happiness. As sad as it might seem, I never actually shed tears over your lack of approval. I know, you must be heartbroken and I'm so sorry.
you must have no clue how painful laser removal is.
You like that dual post don't you?
I had to look at that photo for a full TEN MINUTES before I even SAW the tattoo!
Uber-cute geek-girl into open source? I must be dreaming.
/b/ will be posting pics of her with a g1 in her vag soon and henceforth she will be known as droid-chan!!!!

As a nerd, and a chick, AND a tattoo artist, I can attest to the fact that that is a real, if poorly done, tattoo, for the people that were wondering, and also to the fact that there have been MANY MANY nerdy women that are also good looking with MUCH geekier tattoos (for instance, I have a shark with a laser beam tattooed on my ar, with a mad scientest).
use to work with her at hostgator, until some incident
I call bullocks on the whole damn thing. Didn't have a MySpace page until this was submitted? Bull on that one, I say. Hell, she had to ask me to install Ubuntu for her on her p.o.s. Sony laptop. Engaged to Allen? If I remember correctly, Allen is the reason you and him BOTH got fired from Host Gator.....
