Wired Releases Annual Vaporware List

Posted by Hemos on from the where's-the-product dept.

alacqua writes: "Wired has an article titled Vaporware 2001: Empty Promises which is a top-ten list of last year's vaporware. 'You've Got Smell!' made it, but the Justice Department did not. Says Wired, 'Speaking of Microsoft, some smart-aleck readers opined that the most vaporous thing in tech last year was the Justice Department's failure to deliver on its promise to punish Bill Gates for his company's monopolistic misdeeds -- but we thought that a bit of a stretch.'"

    Oh yes, it would tremendously increase the GoatSe.cx shock index factor for us trolls by at least 55%.

    Imagine goatse.cx, with sight, smell, and sound.. it would accost all the senses!
