The 87 Lamest Moments In Tech, 2000-2009
harrymcc writes "The last ten years have been an amazing era for tech — and full of amazingly dumb moments. I rounded up scads of them. I suspect you'll be able to figure out which company is most frequently represented, but Apple, Google, Twitter, Facebook, Sony, and many others are all present and accounted for, too."
#89 is bullshit. Windows Mobile has its place and is there to stay. It is for power users, comparable to those who use Nokia N900 and for those who want a choice. iPhone is just a shiny fashion toy for those who are too stupid to use a more complicated but more powerful user interface (same people who shun command line). Android still feels rather like a beta version.

And despite the HUGE problems with Abble's Snow Leopard, with it's infinites beach balls of death, deleting whole accounts when logging in as a guest, uncountable bugs and slowness, it doesn't make this list. But, let Microsoft release a decent OS like XP with a animated dog on it. Oh! That's enough for it to be included... Gotta show you how prejudiced these kind of lists are... Who made this list? Kdawson?
It's time to realise that Abble's products are the biggest abomination these days. Just say NO to the dumb iAbble way!!
the Linsux fanbois who still keep claiming that Linsux will be coming into its own soon. Give it up losers. You lost.
Make fun of Microsoft all you want but for all of it's flaws it's still at the top and that's no accident.
Or maybe you'll just continue to caw on about the same shit for another 2 decades?
As of this posting, I count two posts being critical of apple; and one is a reply to you. Which means that when you posted this, there was anywhere between 0 and 1 post being critical of apple. Mod parent troll.
Is iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS on this list? Pretty lame if you ask me.
I think the most stupid item of the decade is America collectively buying the story that a Boeing 757 just vaporised upon striking the Pentagon on 9/11, and that there weren't any cc cameras anywhere that managed to take a single clear photo of it passing through.
Oh, that's right, America is STILL stupidly swallowing that bullshit. What happened to you folk in 2001? A collective lobotomy? I'd go on about WTC7 and other "odd" inconsistencies with reality, but I've already demonstrated my eligibility for tinfoil-hat trollish redundancy, so it's not really worth the bother, is it?
Personally, I'd give Stupid Moment #1 to the Nobel Prize committee awarding the "Peace" prize to Capn YesIcanistan Obama - in one foul swoop, completely eliminating any credibility they might have had left. "Peace" = more death for Afghani civilians, and continuing to encourage the Zionists to march on with their genocidal extermination of the unfortunate former residents of Greater Palestine, may she rest in peace. So, I'm a troll, am I? Just tell me what's NOT stupid about my chosen topics?
