Re: 25 Worst Tech Products
Totally agree with AOL being #1. It truly was/is the service for those that don't know any better.Comment

Re: 25 Worst Tech Products
Great list. From an IT standpoint I can personally attest to two on the list as being nightmares.
1. WindowsME - Supporting that.....UGLY
2. Real Player - You can put that up there with the Afterdark screen saver when it comes to being an IT guys nightmare. User puts that on their PC and it's worse than any Virus or Adware you'll ever try to get rid of. They should've added Afterdarrk on that list as well.
And DIVX! That was a joke that was doomed to fail from day one. I'm starting to get that same vide about Blue Ray which probably will end up on one of these lists in 15 years.PSN: JISTIC_OS

Re: 25 Worst Tech Products
I too would rank Microsoft Windows Millennium the number 1 worst tech product of all time. I'm glad the company I worked for at the time decided not to install this on some of their machines because I probably would have quit if I had to support that junk.Originally posted by JisticGreat list.

Re: 25 Worst Tech Products
I know realplayer is really bad for the reasons mentioned in the article but I didn't expect it to be ranked #2. I didn't know it was THAT much of a headache to people.

21. Eyetop Wearable DVD Player (2004)
Some things just aren't meant to be done while walking or driving, and one of them is watching DVDs. Unfortunately, that message was lost on Eyetop.net, makers of the Eyetop Wearable DVD Player.
This system consisted of a standard portable DVD player attached to a pair of heavy-duty shades that had a tiny 320-by-240-pixel LCD embedded in the right eyepiece. You were supposed to carry the DVD player and battery pack in an over-the shoulder sling, put on the eyeglasses, and then... squint. Or maybe wear a patch on your left eye as you walked and watched at the same time.
Up close, the LCD was supposed to simulate a 14-inch screen. Unfortunately, the only thing the Eyetop stimulated was motion sickness.

Re: 25 Worst Tech Products
I got an internal zip drive, opened it up and it did that clicking thing. Luckily, I sent it back and they gave me a new one that did work. It didn't ruin any zip disks though. I didn't know the problems with this thing were so widespread, but I did know that Iomega's support for their products is terrible.Originally posted by joebooI only had one of the top 25 - Iomega Zip Drive. Never had a problem with mine, but I know they died on a lot of people."We were expecting a miracle with Elite, but instead we got Jesus at halfcourt."
