The Wackiest Technology Tales of 2008

coondoggie writes "Despite the daily drumbeat of new and improved hardware or software, the tech industry isn't all bits and bytes. Some interesting things happen along the way too. Like floating data centers, space geekonauts, shape shifting robots and weird bedfellows (like Microsoft and Jerry Seinfeld). What we include here is an example of what we thought were the best, slightly off-center stories of 2008."

  1. A slide show by techno-vampire · · Score: 5, Informative

    I tried to RTFA and found that the article was nothing but a stupid slide show with a vapid paragraph of comment for each. Unless there's a link to the complete text, there really isn't anything worth looking at.

      Yes that website is awful. Everything on the page is grabbing for attention and it's quite hard to use. One of the worst sites I've seen in ages.

    Would get bored with the article.

    Even the slides were boring.
