Great Techologies that failed!

1)X was originally developed by Apple and AOL. It included bulletin boards, support services, chat rooms, and even, eventually, a Web browser—powerful stuff for 1994.But Apple's then-CEO Michael Spindler decided not to market or advertise it, and charged high prices.
Hence this promising service failed. Identify this technology?

2)X was a joint project between IBM and Microsoft, was very advanced(for that time).It was intended to be a multitasking, object-oriented replacement to the world of Windows. But Microsoft abandoned the project to IBM, and turned back to its own OS.It turned lucky for Microsoft and today we have Windows !
Id this project?

4)X was a WYSIWYG word processor application released along with the first Apple Macintosh systems in 1984. Together with MacPaint, it was one of the two original "killer applications" that propelled the adoption and popularity of the GUI.Identify  X ?

5)Connect

6)X was codenamed Peanut.It was manufactured by IBM.Time called its debut "D-Day for the Home Computer"; observers predicted sales of one million or more in 1984.Time after its release "looked like one of the biggest flops in the history of computing" :P
Id this product?

7) X was never launched.Why,nobody knows.But if it would have been launched then it would have brought a drastic change. X was a style-based device similar to previous Tablet PCs.makings of a stellar tablet: the Nvidia Tegra processor, lightweight (less than a kilogram), and running Windows CE 6.  It was billed as a digital journal.  Id X .
Hint-Microsoft

PS-Theme quizzes are based on my opinion.The gadgets which I think are great mayn't be great in your opinion.So,don't argue with me afterwards :P

  4. If it is not, remove the receiving part of the mouse,
    the device plugged into the USB port, then reinsert it.
    Which means that you will only end up spending $47 on this unit.
    Up to five profiles can be stored on the gameboard at once and macros can be created while actually gaming real time.

  5. Let's think of words that sound dirty but really aren't.
    While having a passion for playing games is important,
    getting a rewarding career in game design will require students to be a cut above the competition.
    It's fast to build and play and will challenge your memory.

  6. Better you connect another mouse with your computer.

    G500s Laser Gaming Mouse packs a gaming grade laser for precise cursor control on a wide variety of surfaces and a hyper-fast dual-mode scroll wheel.
    Building a better Naga - I've always really liked Razer's Naga (and I've used nearly all of them at some point), but I have to say that the G600 is hands-down my pick.

  7. No longer does a music lover need to bother about traveling out of range when
    a fantastic song comes on over the vehicle radio.
    Hardware mechanisms used in the manufacturing of a Wi -
    Fi internet radio system is less complicated and the point
    of ergonomics is kept in mind by the manufactures. Yours

  9. I have interviewed a few parents to attempt to understand what their true objection is with their child playing video games.
    If you are unable to sign in to Game Center or are having problems staying
    connected:. It sounds like you log into the game and join a "Shadow war" server and play with hundreds of other players within that PVP world, but that world is different from the
    cooperative Arkfall boss hunting world.

  10. It does appear, however, that hypnosis can help a person achieve his
    or her weight loss goals. In fact, I always suggest to those overweight vegetarians to keep to a max
    of 4 pounds a week so you won't suffer loose skin post weight loss. Hence, broccoli is a must-add ingredient in your vegetarian weight loss diet.

  11. Scroll down to the music section and click on the edit link.
    The table top radio connects to the internet using Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable, and searches for stations by country,
    genre or call letters. Having had my nearby store shut down recently I looked around
    for another place where I could get my gear from but unfortunately could not find any good outlets even remotely
    close to my home so started looking online.

  12. The new EP Pure Wet is a masterclass in experimental baselines and echoey, breathy vocals all underpinned by varying funk and R&B-based rhythms.
    Palma has a range of top-notch clubs, and Tito’s is one
    of the most popular. I would recommend having a Mimosa out on the patio overlooking the waterway.
