TIME has posted a list of the ten biggest tech failures of the last decade. YouTube, Vista, HD DVD and Segway all made the list. So let’s hear it, what made the list that shouldn’t have and what should be on the list but isn’t?
To make the list, a product had to be widely recognized and widely available to customers. It had to be aimed at a large global market. It had to be technologically equal to or superior to its competition. It had to be a product or new company that had the possibility of bringing in billions of dollars in revenue based on the sales of similar or competing products. Finally, it had to clearly miss the mark of living up to the potential that its creators expected, and that the public and press were lead to believe was possible.
