Worst product ever introduced to consumers?

I agree. (couldn't live without that keyboard & love the mouse) Kinda funny though a software company's best products are hardware...

That's what came with the laptop and I'm too lazy to upgrade.

Win2K is my favorite flavor of OS from the evil empire. It looks like I should go with XP for the HTPC box, though, since many people claim it to be better with driver support and reliability with multimedia stuffs. I'd really prefer to go with Linux for that machine since it will be on and running constantly but without dscaler and some other software ported, it will have to be Windows.

Another product that annoys me is the hubcap. I may be the only one to think it but I'd rater see a generic black wheel than a hubcap. Maybe I'm just too utilitarian.

I totally agree. GBA was one of the most dissapointing products to come out in my mind. The SP is everything it claimed to be but wasn't.

Biggie.

Yes, Neuticles are a pretty stupid product....

the only thing that could be even more stupid is....

Neuticles Merchandise!!!!

http://www.neuticles.com/shop/merchandisemart.shtml

I'm a big fan of the Neuticles neckchain tho...

Quote:

Unisex design features single or double NEUTICLES on stylish chain. (Specify Lg./Med./Sm.) $24. Two NEUTICLES on one necklace. $44.

What could be more more stylish then having a set of giggle-berries hanging from a chain around your neck??

I long to see images of the Neuticle baseball jersy or ball-point pen..

Worst product? Hard to say, but partially hydrogenated oil (trans-fats) are particularly insidious... they're worse for your health than pure lard, sound harmless and there's no requirement for it to be labeled as a % of RDA or as a saturated fat on product labels. They're in just about everything you can buy off the shelf in a grocery store.

Caution -- the above may make you start looking at food ingredient labels a lot more often, and change your eating habits dramatically.

Fewtch, it's a known fact that the FDA has now made it required for companies to list the trans-fat in their products, and that it will appear on labels as soon as 2 years

I thought I heard 2006... anyway, that's a good sign and will probably move these companies in the direction of lowering the amount of trans-fats in their products.

I don't know... as long as F1 cars still use SMG I'll still go with SMG rather than CVT
