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.
I see potential for a iPhone app here.
Without 3G connection.. Damn You AT&T!!!
I really, really liked that. I already personify my computers (Dave the Dell, hi) so I already imagine my computer to be kinda like a person doing stuff for me.
lol that was funny, but what would happen if he got a virus...
Well, that would be one case where a Trojan might have been desirable.
Okay...seriously, I nominate the above reply as the post-of-the-year...
Well done *applause*
seconded! that reply was epic!!!
and this video was freakin awesome...for all the people that DIDN'T like the music, ever heard of mute? or volume down? easy solution. i just watched this listening to Death Cab for Cutie and it was awesome.
I hope its the new touch features in windows 7!
Nice video, nice music. Well deserve a place on engadget front page.
*Sigh* Well, there goes 6 minutes of my life that I'll never get back..
Some else's life is so much better than Second life.
wow! that is some rendering!!!
that's is incredibly cute and spooky in equal measures
Nice demo, but I wished they showed the multi touch. Is that a resistive or capacitive screen?
resistive. He refuses to conform.
I would actually like to see an operating system which behaved like that. I mean, not a real person, but had an avatar or person below the screen doing stuff for you. That would be really cool.
He got rid of the archive without closing it. Even the Human Interface is full of memory leaks! :O
How charming! My favorite part is near the beginning, when the human interface waves up at the user, you can see the silhouette of the user's hand wave back.
Classic computer routines! Awesome and very creative video!
Great to see people out there being creative! Well done.
gay?
you are.
I couldn't watch that whole thing, too boring.
Ok, you don't' have to.
So what happens if he get's a virus? Trojans?
I hope Mr. Cheney doesn't see this. If he does he'll build the most powerful human interface... powered by every indentured servant in the world! DUN DUN DUN... !
everyone who wants a girl version of this needs to get laid.
give me one with wall-e.
those who think of the girl version.... obviously need a wet dream!
I would pay so much to anyone who makes a virtual interface like that. That tripped me out in awe. Crazy!
Could not bring myself to watch more than 6 second of that.
..but you were fine with taking about five times that amount of time to type out your comment and verify it, hmmm?
Yes I wanted to make clear not everybody likes this vid, and not everybody that doesn't like it pretends he/she does anyway to to suck up.
Plus I clearly like commenting, sometimes overly so, I know.
Half man and half animal Interface....
Ha, charming and insightful indeed.
Rather "revealing" on how slow people are vs computers, but we designed machines for a reason :-). Just imagine if we have THIS before we had PC's, a ludicrous statement, but still. That would have been funny.
hey, i just noticed something
Dick in a box.
*proceeds to sing it to ImaYam*
If they used Oompa-Loompas, they could fit more processing power into that same space.
Dual/quad core Oompa-Loompa is the way to go!
Oompa-Loompas, now that's funny. But would they get the blue screen of death after candy overload?
One of the most creative video presentation I've seen. Great job.
i want to see if this thing can crash and gets BSOD
Bravo!
