Hey that's a good one!
I was expecting google in the top list and didnt expect 2 microsoft products in the worst  Whatever, I have to agree that windows ME was a bad product...I used to crash and what not! I dont know why people use it still, it is better to use windows 98! |

Very good lists overall.
On the top 10 list, I'd argue that Firefox is so high on the list. I mean, I like it and use it often, but I wouldn't say it's the fifth best new tecnology in the past decade. Also, I'd disagree that The Sims got on there and a lot of other games didn't. I know they said that and explained why, but I still think a game like Doom for revolutionizing FPS's as we know it, or even Halo would be better because they brought FPS's to consols. For the worst 10 products, I wouldn't say Furby is that of a product, I mean it is a kid's toy that had great sales, and was fun. It wasn't intended to be a great "gagdet". Also, my cousins had ME, and it always screwed up on them. And I laughed. |

to think that firefox is the "youngest" within the decade to be included in the top 10 BEST products, it's saying a lot!
 of course, picking the best is arbitrary, and everyone would have their own lists of bests. among those in the list, i only find "meaning" (or "touches my life") with google and firefox every single day. and oh, napster too (but only during its heydays as a free tool for finding mp3s). the sims, although i played it a bit, doesn't have an impact on me (i grew bored of playing it after some time). the others, i just don't have them, so there you go.  i don't discount how great they are though, and how i wish i had them when it was in vogue too.

Google and FireFox deserves a way higher ranking on the top ten best products of the decade. I don't really think that the iPod deserves that high of a ranking. Sure it holds a LOT of music and stuff. Maybe it's the fact that I don't really listen to music...
As for the Furby in the top ten worst items list, that thing is just crazy... @_@ |

I think that they are stretching it a bit to even call google a product. I would really classify google as more of a service...
Anyway pretty good list, and an interesting thing to think about. |

I doubt that The Sims deserves to be on the top 10 list, unless it's only judging based on product sales (even then, having a computer game on there is a pretty sketchy idea, in my opinion. Ditto having the Furby on one of the lists (I remember that it was a huge fad at the time - hardly a worst-seller).
