If at first you don't succeed,

you're about average.

:-)

Via Slashdot, here's a look at the top ten failed technologies of 2005.

Two things:

1. One or more of these technologies will be wildly successful in the near future. Tech doesn't die, it just gets re-worked.

2. The "iPod Killer" won't be the successful one, at least in the near future. Ditching the best-selling Mini in favour of the even better Nono shows that Apple's so far ahead of the game on that one, it's going to take a failure on the scale of Lotus Jazz to slow it down.
