Vaporware: Is It All Computer Hardware And Games?
from the interesting... dept
Once again, Wired News has come out with their famed vaporware awards that are always worth checking out. There are a few repeats on there, of course. Infinium Labs' Phantom gaming console -- which we thought was dead, but just keeps on getting back up again -- comes in at number one. Still, the overall list seems to fit pretty closely into two categories: video gaming stuff and computer hardware stuff that will let you play games faster. You get the sense that video gamers are the ones doing most of the voting?
