#15. Box Unpopuli: Amazon Unbox

#14. Screwed up to the Max: Municipal WiMax

#13. Web 2 Woe: Social Networks

#12. Just Another Oxymoron: Internet Security

#11. Singing an Old Familiar Zune: Microsoft Zune

#10. Is Anyone Listening?: Wireless Carriers

#9. Sorry, We Already Gave: Office 2007

#8. Needs To Change Its Spots: Apple "Leopard" OS 10.5

#7. Cannot be Completed as Dialed: Voice Over IP

#6. Un-Neutral: The Broadband Industry

#5. The Great, The Bad, The Ugly: Apple iPhone

• 3G will be faster, but wifi is a plus.
• Apple found a cheaper supplier. I have no sympathy for those who want to be on the bleeding edge.
• People hacked their phones, again, no sympathy, warranty is voided.
  
• Not sure, but I am thinking Apple will have many more problems once they open it to 3rd party apps.
  

#4. In a Sorry State: Yahoo

#3. The Anti-Social Network: Facebook Beacon

#2. What Is It Good For: The High-Def Format War

• Walmart had the HD DVD on sale for $99. 1080i and no 5.1 surround. Big whoop.
  

#1. No Wow, No How: Windows Vista

• Ok, so my mother-in-law loaded an old XP printer driver that caused the printer to not work. There was NO WAY to get rid of the driver or to reinstall it. We had to use the system restore DVD. Is this an improvement???
• Maybe someone has to figure-out the hard way that repeated prompts are not good!
