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.
The M8's name comes from the fact that the Meizu CEO is, apparently, 8.
@Chief2
No, it's because he uses Australian slang.
@Chief2
Actually, if you know anything about him you know that it refers to the number of gigabytes of 'filthy pictures' he carries on his person at any given time.
@New Reformation Trust me, I know more about that than I care to admit.
@Chief2 *spoiler alert* He's actually 33.
@Richard Lai That is a lot of gigabytes
@Chief2 You can never have too much porn. You might get stranded in an elevator or a subway or something.
Well looking at that monitor I would guess this is an old picture.
It was take your kid (ceo) to work day at meizu
What happened to the Meizu M8 anyway? I remember all the gadget blogs getting so hyped up about it, then after it showed up it disappeared into the abyss. I never got what was so great about it.
I dont know if I can trust anyone who still uses a CRT monitor.
thank you, what the heck is up with the CRT?!? Is he proving that they are cheap or what?
@possum5 not cheap "fiscally responsible"
@(Unverified) I still use a CRT monitor. Perfect black level and instant response time FTW.
Does Engadget cover the M8 as a joke, or are you seriously excited about this phone?
Didn't they originally plan to release it around the same time as the first generation iPhone?
@Lou3000
Don't you hate the way the Xbox avatars look like their about to perform oral sex on a man when they pose like that?
Nice CRT, Jack. Not selling enough M8's to upgrade?
@DTJ They must be selling tons of them! After all, they look EXACTLY like the iPhone, and those have been selling like crazy!
//sarcasm
@DTJ
Yeah, that' what I noticed too. How old is that pic???
Apparently the CEO likes to have his toddler pose for his pictures. Also, what CEO uses a big bulky monitor in 2010?
"OMG THERE'S A KID DRIVING THE"...COMPANY
Well, at least there's plenty of space available on his shelves for all the awards the M8 is going to win for innovation.
whoa whoa is this a scene from the chinese version of the movie blank check?
That picture is at least 5 years old if not more ^^
Epic Monitor!
You ppl make me sick, so he looks young, who cares.
He is the CEO of a once no-name company, and now they are making a phone that’s quite nice, perhaps not the best, but given the budget of a company that size I would think he is doing well.
It’s not like he is the CEO for Apple who never had a phone then sank millions of $$ into making one or Steve Balmer who's company has more money that donkeys and can't seem to produce a compelling devices.
Would you want to be the CEO of a lumbering giant company or be the CEO of a company that’s small, has limited capital and have a dream and an idea?
Consider for a moment what a company with lots of money can achieve.
Google: A Dream, An Idea and lots of money. = Nexus One
Apple: A dream, An Idea and Lots of Money. = Iphone
Palm: A Dream, An Idea and lots of Money. = Plam Pre
Do you get the picture.
Dreams and Ideas are easy to come by, but Lots of Money is something not every company has.
Wanna bet this "young kid", "CEO" or whatever you want to call him, is 1000 times richer than everyone here.... don't judge a person by his look..
Who put the little kid at that desk?
Meizu M8 is a total joke, and it's said that Meizu M9 will be coming out in a few months.
@poematik14 You're no better if all you do is making such pathetic remarks.
Looks like he took the picture at a furniture rental store.
@Richard Lai painful but true. China needs to move on from the imitation phase to the innovation phase (like Japan did long ago, with all manner of innovations like Walkman, Karaoke etc - (South) Korea too), using elements of their rich and ancient culture to forge original paths for the rest of the world to admire and adopt.
those "parasites" have thermonuclear weapons, a space program and America's Debt
I just threw up a little in my mouth as I typed that
@possum5 You should probably throw up a lot more when you realize the only nation to ever use thermonuclear weapons genocidally is the one that you live in...
@Richard Lai
Just ignore the guy. All he does on this site is bitch bitch and bitch about almost everything.
It's vaporware until it's released in the US
Wake up Wong!
Forget WinMob.
Android.
(from an ex meizu fanboy)
@airmanchairman yeah but you can bet this country wasnt the last. and it ended a long a bloody war so dont go off on your peace loving boat trip without realizing that the country you live in strives to MAINTAIN peace not destroy it. well that is until obama got into office... no one knows what the hell hes trying to do except destroy america...
@SwiTch
'Ahhhhh ahhhhh liberals! They are straying from the tenets of corruption and inequality that our forefathers founded this country on.'
Seriously, go eat a dick.
@Heysoos you dont do any research before you speak do you? have you seen the national deficit? or possibly the inflation of the US dollar? oh how about national healthcare bill to just put us over the edge?
im not the dick sucker moron here.
The M8 CEO once famously said: "I don't trust tall people."
