CNet posted a list of the “Top ten terrible tech products.” (The “products,” sadly, breaks their alliteration streak.)
I’ll direct you to the funniest one ever—#2, the Barcode Battler. And, well, just watch it. The video starts off slow, but it’s well worth it.
It’s an interesting list. I think it is still a little early to include Vista though. Looking through the list is half expected to see the Segway listed. Much as I love the Segway and want one it has not exactly been a huge success.
I was surprised by some of the items on the list. Vista’s inclusion has been pretty controversial, although they do bring up some good arguments.
They seem to judge the quality of the products, not its commercial success — the Tamogachi is on there despite enormous commercial success.
So even though the Segway hasn’t sold that many units, it’s not a flop. Compare it with the barcode scanner game.
