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.
@TheTabe
No one thinks your post is funny.
I'm just asking you to leave the humour until you're a little bit older, and have some worldly experience. Then you can use your own experiences to inject some humour into your posts. At the moment it just looks like you're the kid who wants to be like his cool older brother.
I care that you made yourself look like a dork. That doesn't make me a bad person
@pukerocket
Talking to yourself on Engadget??
See, that's funny. You sure are as quick learner!
@pukerocket
C-C-C-C-Combo Breaker!!!!!!!
@pukerocket
No one thinks my post is funny, fine. But you know what, you're the only one that is actually investing the time to let me know multiple times... What does that tell you?
I am also flattered that you think I'm a kid, makes me feel young again... Ooo, I know - maybe I'm too old to be funny...!?
Made myself look like a dork? Hah! You really show your own age/immaturity there. Being afraid of "looking like a dork" is so damn childish.
I never said you're a bad person. You just might be a good person in real life. But one thing that I do know is that you are a person that does not know how to "just leave it alone".
@TheTabe
Can you please drop this now? There's no need to be so defensive cos I dared to question your humour.
The fact that you now admit you are quite old dampens the confidence I had in you to improve your humour as you developed as a person. I now fear that you are past that stage, and I have been wasting my time trying to tutor you.
Farewell, my friend. May your humour not diminish even further as you age gracefully
@pukerocket
Gotcha.
Believe me, I'll never try to be funny again. You really gave me the what-for and taught me a lesson. I hope you continue to spread your wealth of knowledge unto others for years to come.
I'm not worthy.
Cheers
@TheTabe Oh man, pukerocket just go PWNED!!!!
@sonicwind
Lol, don't tell him that! I'm pretty sure he's convinced that he was the one dealing out the pwnage... Poor guy.
@pukerocket I actually thought it was kinda funny :) hehe
@silverton64
Shame on you! Nothing is funny unless:
1. It hasn't been used before
2. pukerocket says it is
You might want to reconsider... :)
What about the iPad wedding?

*Beginning of the dream*
Ipad, bring me a coffee !
*end of the dream*
Try that on your craptastic plastic Evo!
@magadget
Yeah, because iPad and iPhone are the only devices you can stick tiny motors on...
So much for Apple being late!
Wow, great article, best news all day...........

Define must see...? Terrible waste of time.
six servos and some pieces of wood. nothing that complex.
someone doesn't have a girlfriend
@sydcinema Apple products are cheaper than girlfriends.
"you haven't really seen anything until you've seen an iPad walk"
Well I still haven't really seen anything, because I saw no walking. I saw standing up, I saw the shimmy, but I did not see any walking.
Weird
Haha I love it
Walk Fail
What is the fascination in Japan with robots?
Can we vote posts down?

Donald,

This "iPad" thing is starting to get annoying.
It's a nice toy, but that's it
@foofighting86
True. Whereas Android devices are serious computers for pros!

I would call this fairly useless?
It's either iPad fits into something or iPad walks/jumps/flies out the window kind of news!
I wonder, apart from the news about the hospital, if we'll ever see anything like "iPad does something useful"!
@StanT We have the same avatar!
@StanT
Like browse the web, listen to music, watch podcasts, use 1000s of apps, watch TV.
If you need someone to show you how to do that, feel free to have a search on Youtube
@pukerocket ...show him how to run flash on that crap, there is a work around shoed in for it. That would be useful.
@summerboy18
I share your dusappoiybtedness
That's not "inching along." That's "millimetering along."
they are looking for the neares bin...to commit suicide. They know how obsolete they are. It's sad really.
Who said the iPad was a useless device? ...
I can't believe no one said it on page 1
it's just a big iPhone walking but it can't make calls.
I'd hardly call that 'walking'. Fail.
It's not walking.
Very nice!

so so funy.
I can't see an ipad walk.
But, in the other sides, I love my iPad. It has almost completely replaced my personal computer. For the things I do... Is is perfect! Much nicer than any CPU I have ever owned. All my other computers would do a lot of things I would never use it for, and do it painfully in the process (slow, buggy, etc.). When you get down to what you do most on you personal computer... the iPad does almost all of the things an average user needs, and with a much much nicer U/I. Easy of use, fast, and efficient. The other computer manufacturers could learn a thing or two from this, but even if they do... they will probably screw-up the one they come out with by adding all the crap back in again. Ugggggg!!!!
I am sticking with my iPad. I think other will do the same once they try it and realize it is the perfect personal computer :-)

make the cool device more fun.
