Tech Turkeys of 2008
This is easy!
- Windows Vista (Number one two years in a row now)
- The economy
- All the VC money that went with it.
- Microsoft's attempt to buy Yahoo!
- Yahoo! management ignoring that the offer was actually a good price for shareholders and telling Microsoft to take a hike without running it by said shareholders.
- Spammers, phishers and hackers (Destined to be on this list longer than Dark Side of the Moon sat on Billboard)
- The people at Verizon who peeked at President-elect Obama's Blackberry records. Naughty!
- Anyone who still charges for WiFi.
- Circuit City closes one in five of its stores. Now where can I go to do my geeky impulse shopping?
Have a great Thanksgiving!
Go Texas!
