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.
Steve is getting super thin again.
@a dumb cat
His belt looks like it is tightened as far as it can go.
@a dumb cat
That's just because he's dying a little faster than the rest of us.
@eyerot
That comment seems a little more callous seeing it in type.
Wasn't meant that way. But yeah, Steve's in bonus time right now.
@a dumb cat
I can't for the life of me understand WHY HE IS ALWAYS WEARING THE SAME THING!
Seriously. I understand it may be comfortable, or whatever, but it's also lame. Are there any other modern day figures that always wear the same thing? (Excluding suits, obviously).
@dicobalt
Actually he gained quite a bit of weight soon after coming back from his leave. But this pic makes him look as thin as he was just before he left.
@crawdad689 Dean Kamen, but his followers are High School students and engineers involved in FIRST :-/
@crawdad68
Well The Simpsons do. Does that count?
Seriously, the man must have stinking amounts of money. I've never seen a CEO who didn't own a gallery of suits.... I'd do the same damn thing if I could. Suits are overrated imo, a great confidence booster no doubt for those who need it but when you know your stuff, what you're wearing is irrelevant.
@crawdad689 I think it's an Einstein thing. Einstein allegedly wore the same thing every day (though not the same clothes) as he believed it wasted brainpower deciding what to wear each day. =)
@eyerot
lets stop speculating on his health. he keeps it private, cancer is never easy and without any real evidence lets hope he is well.
@a dumb cat Well the we now know that the Russian president keeps up with the new tech not like OBAMA and his old BlackBerry
@Plazmic Flame
The reason why people wear suits in a business context is that most firms don't want "fashion" wars to start breaking out among their employees. Someone did research about this topic and firms that experimented with letting their employees wear whatever they wanted quickly recanted this freedom!
Also what you and others wear should not affect your rational judgement (e.g. women showing lots of cleavage etc.)
@k234
did you just argue against women showing cleavage?
@PCG
I really don't know why my comment got buried. The man had a liver transplant and a Whipple procedure. The odds of him being alive right now are slim. The odds of him making it another five years are remote.
I speak from experience. Enjoy the show while it lasts.
@a dumb cat THATS WHY I saw a semi armored limo last night going to dinner in Palo Alto.
@crawdad689
I think he has obsessive compulsive personality disorder (not the same as OCD). It explains so much. Check out the wiki page on it:

@crawdad689
Kim Jong-il: Leader of North Korea
@crawdad689
"I can't for the life of me understand WHY HE IS ALWAYS WEARING THE SAME THING!"
The ipod looks like the iphone, which looks like the ipad. The man finds a style he likes and he works it to death. Personally I'm glad to see the iphone 4 has a new look.
@Bskballa92
Montgomery Burns spings to mind. Seems he's modelled his look and personality on him!
@dicobalt yeah but it looks like Medveded is getting chunky again, he looks like a bloated Jack Bower
@crawdad689
If you had billions and billions of dollars. I think the last thing in the world you would worry about is what you're wearing. As long as you're presentable...
@a dumb cat
I think that he looks pretty healthy to me. I would think that he lost a lot of weight from the time off. But he doesn't look bad to me at all.
@crawdad689 Simon Cowell, anyway may be its a One if steve's iClones....so they need to look the same
@Plazmic Flame
More like he wore it once, some ppl commented, now he's afraid to take it off as his fragile hipster image might shatter. In my opinion its a terrible outfit.
@crawdad689
Don't think for a second that his look isn't completely engineered by Apple's marketing people.
Looks like the russian prez wants to know why there is no signal when he picks up his I-Phone. He's a leftie, you see.
@crawdad689
He's a geek, all his life ;) But seriusly, it doesn't look good.
@a dumb cat
He thinks thin is wonderful. That's why the iPhone 4 is the world's thinnest smartphone. He made it into his own image and likeness.
@crawdad689 Watch Jay Leno's garage. He ALWAYS wears the exact same denim outfit anytime he is not actually hosting his late night show.
@crawdad689 He's like super man!! His closet is full of warn out jeans, black turtle necks. THAT"S ALL!
He looks very much like a used car dealer I once knew...
Russian prez: Me Want iPhone 4!
Steve: Follow me please.
hahaha
lmao
@TestSubjectNameHere lollll!!!
@TestSubjectNameHere
Funny how on another post you were saying how iphones suck and everyone is apple fan boys, you should really stick to one side
@Zeroexe43 I dare you to quote me... OR DIE!
I must break you
