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.

Whoever wrote this article is stupid. Mariah Carey is phenomenally talented. Her songs are incredible too, particularly the ones from the 90's, and her 300m + sold albums and more no.1s than anyone else in history prove it.
