12 Worst Tech Murders Of 2012
#9 Motorola Webtop
Motorola unveiled its Webtop technology in 2011, which is hailed to be the future of computing technology. The technology allowed users to use their Smartphones as a PC by docking it with a laptop-like accessory. But the devices failed to catch on with users and some of its “revolutionary” features according to Motorola, began to come up in other technologies including Android OS. The company finally decided to stop investing money into this technology and instead killed the product.
#8 Google Postini
Postini is Google’s famous email and web security service, which assists cloud computing services for filtering spam and malware before it is delivered to client’s mail server. The service also offered email archiving. Google had given 2013 as the deadline for Postini users when Google Apps for Business and Apps Vault will replace the same.
“Postini customers can receive similar email security and archiving features, but on a more robust platform,” said Google on killing the service.
