The Eight Biggest Tech Flops Ever

Does anyone remember GO?
No, not the Internet site, though that also failed.

i only remember 4 out of those lol
is this good or bad?

WebTV.......i remember when it was launched :eek7

I think the biggest Billion Flop was or are the UMTS bullshit

What about the Segway?

Talk about an overhyped ridiculous P.O.S. flop.

nortel ? :)
teleglobe ?

Ahh... memory lane.

I remember in 1992 when the Go product and pen computing debuted. All the magazines were fawning and swooning, and I was laughing my ass off. A keyboard is a ten times better input device than scribbling on a pad. Even if they had executed perfectly, it would have gone nowhere IMHO.

The problem with technology is that a lot of people think that because you *can* do something, you *should* do it.

Simply not always the case.

I would say one big flop is that IBM operating system that came out a few years back that was going to take over microsoft windows. I forget the name.

OS/2 Warp -- I think I still have my original box and 3.5" disks in the basement somewhere. Probably collectors items by now... :1orglaugh
<br>

I collect Dot Bomb memorabillia if anyone has something. I personally think that Pointcast was the biggest flop ever considering the founder turned down billions in cash a few months before declaring bankruptcy.

I totally forgot a few of those blunders!

Ya Nortel's gotta up their!

Saw on CNN newsticker just a few mins ago, co founder of WebTV just died, 39 yrs old.

Irony?
