La Apple Pippin (la console di gioco introdotta da Apple nel 1996) appare al 22 posto nell’l’elenco dei gadget tecnologici più brutti (Top 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time) fino ad ora realizzati.
Apple had an Internet-capable game console that connected to your TV. But it ran on a weak PowerPC processor and came with a puny 14.4-kbps modem, so it was stupendously slow offline and online. Then, too, it was based on the Mac OS, so almost no games were available for it. And it cost nearly $600–nearly twice as much as other, far more powerful game consoles
Da notare che, oltre a Pippin, nell’elenco è presente anche il Macintosh Portable
Some buildings are portable, if you have access to a Freightliner. Stonehenge is a portable sun dial, if you have enough people on hand to get things rolling. And in 1989, Apple offered a “portable” Macintosh–a 4-inch-thick, 16-pound beast that severely strained the definition of “laptop”–and the aching backs of its porters.
Huge lead-acid batteries contributed to its weight and bulk; the batteries were especially important because Portable wouldn’t run on AC power. Some computers are affordable, too; the Portable met that description only if you had $6500 of extra cash on hand.
