Wired's 2004 Vaporware Awards

Posted by michael on from the real-soon-now dept.

l3pYr writes "Based on user submissions, Wired Magazine has posted its 2004 Vaporware Awards. Duke Nukem Forever has garnered the 'Lifetime Achievement Award,' so it doesn't - officially - make the list. Some of the lucky winners this year are: Alienware, Valve, Microsoft, Apple and TiVo."

    Would anyone find it ironic if Wired hyped their vaporware awards for an entire year and didn't come out with one that year?

    is the second coming of Jesus Christ.

    1,900 years behind the original schedule, man.

    What the fuck?

      early Christians all believed the coming of Christ would be immediate, this is actually explicitly refuted in the Bible in II Thessalonians 2:1-3.

      Even more clearly, Futurama 1:12 clearly states that the second coming of Jesus will be in 2443 (though apparently he will be a Zombie).
