I don't get it. Several of these are technologically very cool with terrible marketing and/or bad application coughsegway[0]cough. Others are "hahaha look at that silly fad (auto-tuning, victorian dresses) aren't we so much cooler now!". A couple, like betamax are the losers in a format war or feature war, not really bad themselves, just on the losing side earning a hatred from those who "wasted the money on one" (and forever including them in these lists for vindictive catharsis). Finally a small number like the pinto's explosion rate, or hydrogen blimps, are actually bad inventions. This whole article feels kind of wantonly ignorant. Like the cool kids at school finding something, anything really, to mock rather than participating. Or like all the "that sounds like faggy talk" stuff from the movie Idiocracy. [0] Creating too much hype which results in mass disappointment is just as bad as traditional "what were they thinking" bad marketing.
