I have to reload every page multiple times until it loads. Can we please stop having static websites rely on 65 (???) scripts.
But how else can the bing tech can show you ads about, DeLorean, Coke II or google glass.

#12This reminds me of the 'Library of Mistakes' in Edinburgh, a free public library which promotes the study of financial history. https://www.libraryofmistakes.com/
I hope they have a red hot section on the last 20 years because wow.

#13Oh man, the Nokia NGage! I still remember the "taco talking" mockery (back when people used phones to make calls). Symbian OS was so much better than the competition. Apps and games were feasible, compared to the j2me wasteland. I remember it for not being a too far fetched idea as I playing with the software on my S60 device more than making calls.

#14Oh looks like this came to where I live last year. Shame I didn't hear about it then.

#15I had an N-Gage, the first phone I talked on in stereo using headphones (obviously).
It was probably the best portable device I ever had.
Musicplayer, console, stereo phone!!!
So much ahead of it's time it even makes a modern "smart" phones look wrong.
You could change battery yourself without tools.
Real buttons! How many misclicks do we count per day, probably a couple of billion?

#16My favorite place of this sort is Vasa museum in Stockholm
It hosts a huge 70m warship that sank in 1628 on her maiden voyage 1.5 km into it. Highly recommended to visit.

#17I love the irony that the site displays a blank white screen for me. Well done!
Re: Museum of Failure
#18I dont think Google Glass can be seen as failure. The product is still on market, it only has changed the target audience.
What is their market now?
Re: Museum of Failure
#19Not an invention, but one of my favourite failures is Shackleton’s antarctic expedition[1], which among the many trials includes what must be one of the greatest navigational feats in history: 1300km in an open boat across the Antarctic Ocean after a year being stuck in the ice.

#20Visited last weekend. Interesting for sure. Funny to see how many times and for how long we've been trying to do VR!
Some of the "failures" were unfair IMO, like minitel and Block Buster: It's like saying using wind sails on ships was a failure because it was replaced by steam engines.
