Museum of Failure Opens In Sweden (failuremag.com)

Slashdot reader swellconvivialguy writes: A new museum in Helsingborg displays more than 70 failed products and objects, including the Apple Newton, Google Glass, Sony Betamax, Harley-Davidson perfume, and the Donald Trump board game. According to curator Samuel West, "none of the companies that I contacted wanted to cooperate. I approached quite a few innovation directors and asked them for examples of failure that they've learned from. I thought it would be easy to get them to collaborate but none of them -- zero -- choose to cooperate."
The curator urges people to accept failure -- "as an essential aspect of progress and innovation."

That could explain why every asshat on Slashdot has taken a sudden interest in my sex life in the last few days.

LIST OF EXHIBITS

[Anonymous Coward]

LIST OF FAILIRE EXHIBITS:
* Linux (any variety, bit especially on the desktop)
* Slashdot users and moderators
* Star Trek
* Constant whining that innovation is invading privacy
* Piracy
* Europeans constantly whining about the US

That's just a short list of failures that would make for great exhibits in this museum. There are many more examples on this shithole of a site with asshole users and moderators.

* Windows (any version, especially the "everyone has a touch screen" ones)
* Anonymous cowards on Slashdot
* Star Wars
* All the crap that spies on us (the ones they sell to us and the ones we don't know about)
* Piracy (real at-sea piracy, not the copyright infringement crap)
* Americans constantly whining about every other country in the fucking Universe
* All the latest Macs with on-board RAM with no possibility to add more
* All the Macs which requires a 90% disassembly to add RAM or replace the storage drive
