Think of all the electronics you used last year, everyday. Now think about how they didn’t work or how they failed you. That’s how we came up with this list of Tech Fails for ’09.

Facebook/Twitter servers slow down or fail

For this fail we actually sympathise with the service provider. I mean if one individual makes 5,000 tweets without even realizing it or worse uploads all 300 photos from her 12MP camera taken at last night’s party, how on earth are the providers expected to keep up with storing it all?

Still too many ports!

Every single mobile device you own has a different type of connection or plug. Horrible I say! For the mere sake of uniformity and efficient power consumption different ports makes no sense. They are making steps towards it but we still haven’t reached the point where everything uses a universal connection.

BlackBerry Blackouts

We all remember the days the world stood still because BlackBerry service went down. Those are always horrible days for professionals and socialites alike and then to find out it’s because of something silly like a bad update for BBM? RIM needs to run a bit more testing before making their big software releases.

Facebook account was hacked!

Simply no sympathy here. Not for Facebook or the user. A friend of ours put it simply “so many hacked/exploited Facebook accounts, guys, you don’t need to install EVERY app. Really…” and he’s right. Malicious programmers will be around as long as there is an Internet. We know they look attractive and have funny names but not everything yuh see yuh mus’ get!

Farmville

Yes we said it, Farmville, one of the worst things to befall the Internet since those emails selling you weird pills. Thank the heigher-ups in Facebook for giving us that ‘Hide’ feature. It seems painfully obvious it was built to save those immune to Farmville’s charms from having to see the million and three updates in their feed that Farmville generates. If I never have to see a story about a brown cow wondering onto my friends farm, it’ll be too soon.
