Haha! The website is not even for techies, if you click on I DISABLED MY ADBLOCK without disabling it, the site lets you in lol

Let me save you a click

Google Glass: Early release, high cost, and privacy concerns led to its discontinuation.
Apple Newton: Poor handwriting recognition and high price doomed this early PDA.
Windows Vista: Incompatibility, high resource usage, and negative user reviews plagued its launch.
Microsoft Zune: Attempted competition against the iPod, but failed to differentiate and had software issues.
BlackBerry Storm: Departure from physical keyboards, coupled with a flawed touchscreen design.
iTunes Ping: Apple's music-focused social network lacked meaningful engagement.
Nokia N-Gage: Ambitious gaming phone with hardware problems and limited game library.
Nintendo Virtual Boy: Stereoscopic 3D display caused discomfort, poor game library.
HP TouchPad: Inadequate specs, high price, and lack of ecosystem compared to iPad.
Galaxy Note 7: Battery issues causing explosions and recalls marred its reputation.

Almost all of those things were tech that pushed the limits. They paid for it with poor sales or glitches, but thank God they took some chances instead of just upgrading the pixels on a camera year after year. I applaud these disasters.
