Vaporware 2000
from the not-hear-yet dept
Wired has published their annual list of vaporware products for the year. The majority of them are games that I've never heard of. They also mention Bluetooth, which I'm not sure is really vaporware. It's not like we're sitting around waiting for one company to "release" Bluetooth. Anyway, my vote (not on the list) would have been for "the continuing bull market" or perhaps "the new economy". More seriously, realistic new TLDs probably should have been on the list.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
