There seems to be a growing sense of frustration and rage at technology products. We've talked about web rage, photocopier rage and mobile phone rage -- but computer rage is probably the most common. Earlier this week we mentioned some of the most amusing ways computers were destroyed -- and they often involved rage. A new study, however, shows that the rage is pretty common. Most people have sworn at their computer, and many have hit it or thrown a mouse -- and sometimes people even shoot their computers. Perhaps we should take a lesson from the Ukraine and set up computer destruction contests to help people get out their anger, like in the movie Office Space.
