#%*@#! The Top 10 Tech Fails of 2009

It was a big year for technology: Twitter and Facebook's popularity exploded, while new smartphones, e-readers and a host of other gadgets cropped up to compete for our plugged-in affection.

But into each electronic life a little digital rain must fall.

They are completely right about the whole gmail crashingf thing. It was so annoying, I needed it.

Aleusia5656d ago

using the word fail? what has the world come to?

Max Power5656d ago

it would have been worse if they used the term 'Epic Fail', which is getting annoying by the way. I mean if you kill yourself in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 it says "Epic Fail" on the top of the screen.

about the xbot that his the biggest failure in gaming history of consoles.

SlipperyMooseCakes5656d ago

And it only took the first reply. Grow up.

Saaking5656d ago

Grow up? So using facts means you're not grown up? The 360 IS the most defective piece of electronics in history. How about you grow up?

SlipperyMooseCakes5656d ago

The topic is for 2009, not for 2006/2007. The Xbox doesn't break nearly as much as it use to and has a pretty stable functionality now, in the year of 2009.

All you did was use this article to continue to onslaught of Sony/PS3 fanboyism. No, you need to grow up. The worst part is that this site is completely over run by nonsensical PS3/Sony fanboys and legitimate comments get disagreed on and Pro PS3/Anti 360 comments get agrees up the ass.

@Ninji
What are you talking about? Do you have a link to back your garbage, I mean other than wiki...

Yeah right. They didn't fix s**t they just keep renaming the chip and telling people it is fixed. And dumbasses like you believe it.

hitthegspot5656d ago

Oh Sheik...
That was the best. I should always go to YouTube for fact... Thanks for that.

Zaaking5656d ago

Grow up? So using facts means you're not grown up? The 360 IS far from the most defective piece of electronics in history. How about you grow up?

What are you talking about, you're blinded by your own fanboyism. I own the MW2 bundle and it works fine. I also own a PlayStation 3 and I love both my consoles.

Enjoy being bitter over a video game console like an 11 year old child. You have a history of troling/posting anti-360 garbage on this site so I'm not even going to bother. Another bitter and biased fanboy.

SlipperyMooseCakes5656d ago

I didn't say it was fixed, but Ninji is saying is that there is no difference between 2009 and 2005 in RRoD occurrence, and that simply isn't true.

This is missing the whole point. The whole point was to show that CryWolf was taking any and every opportunity to post anti 360 garbage not because it is topical, but because he is a fanboy.

The 360 sure has had a lot of hardware problems, I'll be the first to admit that. But to say that the situation has not gotten better or nothing has changed is just flat out wrong.

Wuchang Fallen Feathers Is a Soulslike with a Unique Look and a Neat Hook

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers sets itself apart from the jump with its unique art and setting. It takes place in the land of Shu during the latter part of the Ming Dynasty. That single choice sets what I played of Wuchang apart from just about every other soulslike.
