Top 5 Worst Products of the 2000s

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011 – running time 05:00

The first decade of the 21st century is safely behind us, and so are these awful gadgets.

The decade is over. Really really over. Like even for people who argue over whether the century started in 2000 or 2001, this last decade is over.

But that is a good thing. It means we can look back on the decade and laugh. Specifically we can laugh at products.

And there were a lot of products. So many to choose from, that the Twitter Peak and Windows Vista didn't even make the list.

But it does mean we have an excellent list to choose from. And so we will count down the worst products of the last decade, whatever it's called.

But you have your own ideas on the worst products, don't you? Let's hear them. Post them in our forums or send me a reply on twitter to acedtect.
