Jamie Zawinski, Technological Antisolutions

I like Jamie’s definition for a Technological Antisolution. If you’ve found yourself looking at a piece software/technology thinking “that’s a solution in search of a problem”, then you’ve encountered one yourself, hell some of us have even built a couple.

He goes on to link to several great examples of such anti-solutions, so click through or use the links below.

• ”They are turning OUR atmosphere into THEIR atmosphere.”
• Autonomous murderbots still going great
• Apartheid Emerald Mine Space Karen’s autopilot conveniently shuts off one second before impact.
• Google says it is good for their business if their competitors’ cars kill more people.
