The successor to the  hugely popular Apple 2 (see what they did there), this was a huge flop.  Also, a genuine fire hazard. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20100909/greatest_fails_01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Apple Lisa (1983) The  Lisa was actually pretty groundbreaking for its time – it was one of  the first personal computers to utilise a graphical user interface (ie:  on screen icons), came with a mouse, and could multi-task across  programs. All very impressive for 1983. The $10 thousand price tag was  considerably less impressive. In today’s terms it equates to  approximately $22 thousand. Ouch. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20100909/greatest_fails_02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Macintosh Portable (1989) A  portable Mac! Sweet... Wait, why do I have these crippling back pains?  Maybe it’s because this laptop weights over seven kilos and is larger  than a briefcase. Crapsticks. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20100909/greatest_fails_03.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Apple Newton (1993) The  original iPad. Released in 1993, the Newton was an all-in-one portable  office that could send faxes (remember those?), splutter out emails,  store your clients’ details, take notes and other relevant stuff.  Anyway, its man claim to fame was its ability to read handwriting (via  stylus input). Unfortunately, this feature was less reliable then your  weed dealer. Also, it cost $1000 bucks. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20100909/greatest_fails_04.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Macintosh TV (1993) If  you’re going to release a computer that can display TV signals on the  monitor than you wanna make sure it can actually do so. The Macintosh TV  was a bit of a shambles and watching TV on it was slightly less  satisfying poking yourself in the eyes with a stick. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20100909/greatest_fails_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> QuickTake (1994) The  QuickTakes were some of the very first digital cameras  available on  the market, which again points to Apple’s uncanny knack for meeting  needs that consumers don’t yet know they have. A QuickTake camera was  easy to use, had a .3 Megapixel resolution (which isn’t bad for 1994),  and ranged in price from $600 to $750. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20100909/greatest_fails_09.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Apple Pippin (1996) A  mutant PC/games consoles hybrid, this was a bit of a mess from the  get-go. Apple partnered with Japanese entertainment giant Bandai and  somewhere along the way things got lost in translation. Released around  the same time as the original Playstation, this quickly sank without a  trace, selling fewer than 45 thousand units internationally. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20100909/greatest_fails_06.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 20th Anniversary Macintosh (1997) Creating  a deluxe version of your computer to mark 20 years in the business is  all good and well. Charging nearly $8000 for some pointless ‘special  features’ and a new casing? Not so much. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20100909/greatest_fails_07.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Apple USB Mouse (1998) One button? What the hell am I supposed to do with one button? What about right cluck? Nuts to this… <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20100909/greatest_fails_08.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20100909/greatest_fails_10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Add a ++ if u think this post is good <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /> </blockquote>
