“To make the list, a product had to be widely recognized and
widely available to customers. It had to be aimed at a large global
market. It had to be technologically equal to or superior to its
competition. It had to be a product or new company that had the
possibility of bringing in billions of dollars in revenue based on
the sales of similar or competing products. Finally, it had to
clearly miss the mark of living up to the potential that its
creators expected, and that the public and press were lead to
believe was possible.”
