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 have to be honest, the mere fact that they tell me not to eat it really makes me want to fry one up.
@Floppy agreed. haha.
"Naturally, it's a sausage, so it will be compatible.." this is one of the best lines I have read on Engadget :D:D
@Floppy
No matter how much I like sausages, I do not want to eat that vibrator...
@Floppy
Urgh, you can't eat it!!! That's an important feature for me! You think an update is in the works to make sausage edible again!?
@Floppy so why is bad for us to eat? Frying it up sounds good
@Floppy If edibility is a key feature, Try a real sausage - the juices are conductive so they work just great!
@Floppy
Call me when it's edible.
"Keep Refrigerated"
@trek
Im still wondering how long the sausage last before it goes off
@OCEAN CLAK That what she say?
ah, they are fine at room temperature. Most fish-meat sausage are compatible with thermal conditions of -20 - +30°C (in Storage) / +5 - +100°C (Operating), at up to 100% humidity. No baking or boil before use is required.
@trek
best part is you can eat it afterwards.
another way to embarass yourself in public. I'm sure it'll be the next "hip" thing among iphone owners :)
P.S: flame away
now you can navigate your iphone with your sausage...if you haven't done so already ;)
@iroq d mullet
The real benefit is that you can do it in public now!
@iroq d mullet
This could result in a whole slew of apps being banned.....
@ossger SOOOO UNNECESSARY.
The comment, I mean.
The sausage is highly necessary.
@iroq d mullet: I dunno about some of the gents on here, but my sausage causes much navigation on the phone.... so many lewd texts not thought through by the little brain (if ya know what I mean).
@Prokanda : damn. meant *big brain. -want to buy an edit button.
@iroq d mullet 3 guesses how i typed this.
@iroq d mullet My current sausage is way to inaccurate. It covers most of the screen. This NEW sausage looks much more manageable!
They were already on sale in the US years ago. Ever been to a Chinese/Japanese/Korean supermarket?
@Noswal
i wouldnt expect Engadget to know, maybe Gizmodo since their senior editor is asian ;)
@Noswal I saw them at the local Asian market myself this weekend.
$3.45 for 5 sausages.
Enjoy paying $6 for a sausage, suckers!
@Kerensky97
Or maybe $.99? Article read FAIL. Try again though.
Other note. It kind of frightens me that it's inedible. Was the original ones used in Korea edible? Wasn't that the point?
Is that a Sausage Stylus in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
Is putting that metal ring on the tip wise?
@Extinction
Unless you want the sausage to empty all over your iPhone - yes.
@Extinction
It’s a sausage piercing. For iPhone navigation pleasure.
@LeJay thats what she said
@pachi72
well whip it out next time in the subway and see it goes :)
if it stinks from time to time, it's not the display.
What kind of meat is in there that isn't sutible for consumption? Dirty cow butthole?
@Tito
Cat.
@Tito
Ground up human fingers.
@Tito Generally, "Not for consumption" is legal-CYA-speak. The sausage may well be perfectly fit for consumption. However, the vendor isn't licensed to sell food, or the food hasn't been inspected by the FDA, or some such thing like that. So they say you're not supposed to eat it, so they're covered if someone does eat it anyway and gets sick.
@rhackin
American fastfood chains disagree with you.
(In response to the question: Zombie flesh.)
@RobotechMaster Does this thing ever expire?
What about the string cheese stylus? Give some love to the dairy (kinda) isle.
@joelaf Cheese isn't a conductor.
Coming with the Sausage Stylus is a perfectly fit protective rubber latex.
I just sent this article to a friend I'm chatting with on Yahoo IM and here was his suggestion...
"...that would be tremendously usefull on the redbox [movie rental] in the winter. They should have them cabled to the box."
@Juice
he still rents?
i have a feeling the intention was different. american fingers are getting fat. nuff said.
I discovered today that the metal backing on my ipod video 5.5G works as a stylus on my nexus one. O__o
Hey bro, can i see your sausage for a sec? My hands are cold and I need to make a call.
@rhackin
sure, but I'LL hand it to you...i don't want a repeat of what happened the last time someone asked me this.
Like sausages?
There's an app for that.
@hellojoaquin
Like Apps?
There's a sausage for that.
