The High Tech Hall of Shame?

We have a lot of great tech toys these days, but not every technological product can be a winner. We have seen quite a number of really bad ones, some REAL losers. And we all have had some of these (come on, don't lie). PC World has compiled a very nice list of the The 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time. Take a look back, if you dare!


Update: Ok, it is not all that bad. I have found another list by PC World, The 100 Best Products of the Year. Now this is a "juicy" list!

From the article: "Security guards and managers started talking to each other frantically on their walkie-talkies and headsets. 'Thomas Crown Affair! Thomas Crown Affair!,' one employee shouted. They were worried that were using our fake uniforms to stage some type of elaborate heist. 'I want every available employee out on the floor RIGHT NOW!'"
