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.
LOL!
@Revolutionary
Probably the call will drop, when you hold it the wrong way.
@Revolutionary just something I whipped up real quick.

@Revolutionary
first question from Apple are you holding this with your left or right hand?
@Revolutionary
I now just realized why you can't do Facetime over 3g. Because you will most likely hold the phone on the bottom half!
First stop: Demanding an answer to the antenna problem and left-handers being discriminated against.
If we all do it they'll have nowhere to run, people. Think cornered rats.
@Mister Warmth
Why do people keep saying lefthanders? From what I've seen, right handed people tend to hold the phone with their left hand and vice-versa... People tend to want their dominant hand to be free while on the phone..

First, LOL indeed.
Second, a correction with the article:
"Be it because you have no friends, or simply no friends with an iPhone 4 *on a wifi connection*"
@Revolutionary Ya, this is not going to go well at all. Poor apple employee is going to get some fat dudes balls on their phone real quick. I'd do it if I had a iPhone 4
@Revolutionary I have a feeling that this was a bad idea...
@Herman Melville
that was too funny...can i please post this on my facebook page? LMAO
@Revolutionary Don't be too surprised if Vlad Savov answers the call.
@Mamacita
I wonder how many men from chatroulette will be calling them?
@Revolutionary
indecent exposure FTW!
@Seven2k
Second question, hey what are you doing with your idle hand?
@Revolutionary Shows what an ignorant, stupid, moron you are
@Revolutionary
Any hot chicks working it?
@Revolutionary
They really need to make a chatroulette app!
@erik1080
Please add "that are right-handed".
"Be it because you have no friends, or simply no friends with an iPhone 4 on a wifi connection and that are right handed"
@rutter9
lol...me too
@TheTabe
That's true, but calling for righthanders is mostly done with the right hand. For browsing on the phone/internet it's more or less like computer usage, right hand for navigation.
@Herman Melville
LOL, then we should all hold the iPhone 4 like L from Death Note?

@Arkv2
thou shall do as lord commands.
@Revolutionary
Must be a fun time to be an Apple rep at the moment!
@djt or you could try this out...

@Revolutionary
I can't get my call to drop on my iphone 4 no matter how I hold it
@blackacex222
Same here works great for me. These people are just hating because thier EVO is falling apart.... Cheap HTC phones.
@Revolutionary
Your little article pic only has 2 bars... Nice.
@Revolutionary
User: "Hello Steve, I'm just testing my facetime"
Steve Jobs:" Glad you like it, how are you"
Sudden call drop, and silence ensues for the next 5 minutes
User:"Hello Im back"
Steve:" Good to see you, How do you like it?"
User:"I hate this piece of shit. It drops calls all the time and facetime is for iPhone only and I have friends who have Droid phones with skype"
Steve:" You are holding it the wrong way"
User: "WTF is wrong with you man, what's correct way to holding a phone. I though this change everything again but I guess the only thing changed is how you hold your phone.Damn you Apple"
Steve:"Calm down, hold it on the middle using two fingures and let the rest of your fingures spread out."
User:" Go f*** yourself. I want my money back. I'll see you in court"
----Breathes heavily and continues cussing while Jobs sobs, blows his nose and cries "Why me God, why? I thought this was supposed to be magical but now I'm neck deep in shit"
@DSquared
They'll just tell you you're holding your balls wrong.
@cul8r555 Bwhahaha! That was a good one!
@TheTabe you hold the phone in your left hand. hence, lefthanded use is impaired. just because what you think is "normal" doesn't make it so. it's funny how social perception changes over time. back in the day, video games were played with the right hand (i.e., Atari days) because that was the dominant hand. in fact, a few of joysticks were specifically marketed for lefthanders since true lefties were at a disadvantage. but then the Japanese came along and converted everyone to playing the joystick with the left hand and the buttons with the right hand. all gamepads were redesigned for the left hand as well. and yet people adapted because the best games were on those systems (Nintendo, Sega, etc.).
just like I'm a lefty but I use the mouse right handed because way back in the day, there was no implementation of a left-handed mouse (either thru software or thru the curvature of the mouse). and now i can't switch to a lefty mouse because i've already trained myself for a righty mouse.
i know a few people that use the left ear because they hear better in that ear. in fact, a couple of them use the left ear but hold it with their right hand (which looks funny to me).
Tabe, I'm used to texting with my dominant thumb, when I made the switch to smartphones I kept this hand as my phone hand.
@Dkgreen84 how is the evo falling appart lol?... if you drop the evo from 4 feet the screen wont crack.... it doesnt have antena problems.... and last time i check it had 4g.... it also has 3g which only at&t users use cause they have nothing else.... tmobile even just rolled out its 4g like speed towers with 21mb download
@Revolutionary
Could legal action be taken if someone called Apple and did some innapropriate gestures?...
@Revolutionary Wifi antennae is in a different spot
@Revolutionary
I hope you are laughing at how sad it is that Apple would be your only friend to test it with. Right?
I can see a whole new era of phone support abuse
@Sled
Indeed, I hope these Apple employees are open-minded and liberal...
@maty I would show my penis.
@Sled
Video chat will never be more than a gimmick until there is a universal standard across carriers and technologies that not just one company profits from.
@Sled
Engadget, forgive me for using one of your images, but it was meant to happen.. Steve is ready and waiting to take everyone's calls:

@Sled FaceTime = THE BEST PHONE SEX EVER
@GeneralThade
That's probably why Apple is making the specs for the protocol available.

@Sled : Apple chum on your facetime. :)
@GeneralThade
Seriously? I would nude chat with my boyfriend or girlfriend all the time if I had mobile video chat
@JStar which is still worse than bad sex...
brb, registering facetimeroulette.com
@dingus lol I just checked, you actually did it.
