minus-squareYouLookGraphics@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 years agoOh god, where do I even start? VidMe and Vlare. Vanillo. 3D TV’s. Onecoin. XML. Ubuntu Touch. OS/2 WARP. (unfortunately.) Mir and Unity. Not the game engine. PeerTube. Foldable smartphones. Virtual assistants. Dual-screen smartphones. Ruqqus. Zune. Windows Phone. Firefox OS. Silverlight. Tru64. Theranos. ZTE Hawkeye. PlayStation Home. There.
minus-squaremorrowind@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 years agoVirtual assistants weren’t as big as expected, but I wouldn’t say they flopped. Also, peertube, foldable smartphones, linux mobile (ubuntu touch) are all still in early stages, its a bit early to say they flopped.
minus-squareAgreeableLandscape@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-23 years agoTo be fair, at least Theranos and Onecoin were outright scams. They were never intended to be the next big thing so much a get even richer quick scheme.
minus-squareAda@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoI had to do a double take there. I read Theranos as Thanos the first time around :)
