The 87 Lamest Moments in Tech, 2000-2009
Posted on December 22, 2009 at 22:43 CST by woody • Comment in the ForumsYou know all those “top ten” and “bottom ten” lists that spring up at the end of every year?
This one’s different. Downright hilarious in places. Foibles galore.
Harry McCracken (who knows more than a bit about lame – hi, Harry!) has a funtastic list in Technologizer going through the 87 lamest moments from January 1, 2000 to date.
Another bit of good end-of-year reading.
