CNET's Worst 10

CNET has gone to the trouble to list its "top ten terrible tech products." "the gadgets and concepts we felt really surpassed themselves in being utterly crapulous. Many of these travesties aimed to reinvent the wheel, but were plagued by huge dollops of fail." The 10:

  • The Sinclair C5 - an electric vehicle from 1985 with a top speed of 15 MPH.
  • The Barcode Battler - a handheld video game from 1991.
  • The Squircle - an MP3 player with zero memory and terrible sound quality.
  • Gizmondo - a game console with terrible games, such as Momma Can I Mow the Lawn? The director of Gizmondo was the guy who crashed the $1 million Ferrari on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.
  • Tamagotchi - the most intensely irritating toy ever.
  • Apple Puck Mouse - round with a single button.
  • Atari Jaguar - a failed game console.
  • Amstrad E-m@iler Telephone - a phone that could send email.
  • Sony rootkit CDs - "the worst product anyone has ever released in the history of the music industry."
  • Windows Vista
