Ten more hilariously terrible tech adverts

Apple Newton
You'd think we'd learn, wouldn't you? Our first worst ten list got us blasted in the comments section for having a go at Ellen Feiss, the geek icon of her time. Well, as much as we should avoid mentioning any Apple product in a negative light, we can't let them off the Newton adverts.

If you don't know what the Newton was, allow us to fill in the gaps. It was a PDA released in 1993 and to give Apple its due, it was seriously ahead of its time. And like all products ahead of their time, it was a dismal failure. (Otherwise it would be their time.) In this advert we get an explanation of what Newton is, except you could quite easily walk away still not having a clue what it actually does. Oh, and the idea that a man with a black suit and sunglasses on is cool is so funny we actually did laugh our arses off.
