A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.

Screw ones and zeroes. I want actual tiny words written onto my hard drive. That's got to be smaller than all that binary crap, right?
would be a bitch to format dont you think?
Looks like i'll need a new prescription...
To reformat, you'll need to go to dictionary.com
"Suck it, Trebek" would had been so much funnier.
Ha ha ha..."I'll take 'the rapists' for $100"
As a Cal student, I heartily laughed at the present joke.
Nice to know I wasn't the only one who switched to a 7th grade mental state when I saw that the first letter was "S".
Microfilms make a comeback, except this time....they're nano
Very cool, what's that for? Bragging?
EULAs, of course.
.... and cellphone bills too. But of course left the "Total Amount Due" part visible.
What font is that?
I would say Molecular Sans Serif, or something
so whens it gonna say hello world?
after they're done fooling around drawing naughty pictures
I can almost sense ISPs and cell phone carriers using this technology on their contracts very soon......
Remember, it happened under Obama's presidency!
Uh-oh... is Obama the new Apple?
probably not... all of our government computer probably runs windows (at least the whitehouse does) and to change all the computers and re-write tailor made softwares for mac is going to take aalot of time, and money
they'll probably let him use the mac under windows partition (kind of like that blackberry compromise where he's forced to lose the actually blackberry but given the uber-superduty phone)

Er... that's not what I meant. I meant that his administration would be mentioned under every article one way or another, just like Apple was, or still is. A lot went on in my head and it's a pretty big stretch, so my bad.
Physics nerd equivalent of writing you name in the snow with urine.
I wonder if they can get this commercialized, so I can write all the verses to Gaye's "Let's get it on" on a grain of rice to my girlfriend. Maybe then she will love me. Also, this could bring a whole new level to Rick Rolling.
So there's this dude...Bob, we'll call him. Bob's getting married, and to commemorate his love of his new wife, Wendy, he has her name tattooed on his, ahem, member. Thing is, unless he's, you know, excited, all you can see is W[wrinkly]Y.
So they're on their honeymoon in Jamaica, and they're on this nudist beach, right? Bob is sunbathing his pale ass while watching his beautiful wife swimming, and happens to be lying near this other dude, a Jamaican native. He can't help but notice that this other guy also has W[wrinkly]Y tattooed on his junk. He says, "Wow man, is your wife named Wendy too?"
Jamaican guy looks over at him, confused...then grins, and says, "Oh! No mon, it says "Welcome to Jamaica, mon, have a nice day"
...
I think with this new technology maybe Bob can also welcome people to his country in such a novel way.
Goooooooood one :D:D:D instant ROTFL xD
1989 - IBM Fellow Don Eigler is the first to controllably manipulate individual atoms on a surface, using the STM [Scanning Tunneling Microscope] to spell out “I-B-M” by positioning 35 xenon atoms, and in the process, perhaps creating the world’s smallest corporate logo. (from IBM Press Room)
Anyone else notice the lower RHS picture shows 'U' when the zoom-in shot inset within is 'S'?
That portion of the picture was sponsored by US magazine.
when i saw SU, i decided to try to figure out what it stood for before reading... i came up with "stumbleupon".
Great... as if contractual small print wasn't already hard enough to read.
