Title: A Decade of Dumb Tech
Post by: Mr. Analog on December 22, 2009, 07:17:03 AM
Remember seeing mounds of unsold Windows ME boxes?

Remember the Segway?

What about Transmeta?

Sony Rootkit?

How about a sleeping Comcast service tech?

Or Steve Jobs and his "new" 1980s technology: multi-touch!

Ahh, it's a fun stroll down memory lane...

I think the most hilarious bit in all of that is when a guy tries to cancel an AOL account and recorded it: http://consumerist.com/2006/06/the-best-thing-we-have-ever-posted-reader-tries-to-cancel-aol.html (http://consumerist.com/2006/06/the-best-thing-we-have-ever-posted-reader-tries-to-cancel-aol.html)

"CANCEL THE ACCOUNT.  I don't know how to make this any clearer.  CANCEL THE ACCOUNT."
