      I don't think they're trying to get older people interested in the Metaverse and in Facebook. I think they're trying to bring us younger people back in again.
      Many younger people, such as myself, have quit Facebook. And I believe this whole "metaverse" thing is to get into the VR hype and bring us back into giving all our data to Facebook again. They're not trying to bring older people from Facebook to Meta, but rather trying to bring us from people-who-quit-Facebook-years-ago-as-it-got-lame to Meta. They need more people and more data.

    I remember my grandfather having a CueCat. He already owned a VCR that had a fancy remote with barcode scanner, which allowed him to program his VCR’s auto record function using barcodes in the weekly TV guide he got in the mail. To him, the CueCat seemed like a logical extension to this and he loved new tech.
    The CueCat concept didn’t work for him though, because (like you said) you had to be near your PC when reading and few magazines and newspapers supported the format because hardly anyone owned a Cue Cat.

    So, the cuecat (#19) was awesome for it's time. It let you quickly read barcodes and get them into a computer for like super cheap. It was super easy to just code it to pull raw data into Acess or Excel (remember folks this was before RSS), you could also run the data (barcodes) through some IRC and forums (depending on what you needed) to actually populate your database/spreadsheet.
    Was is hugely popular among consumers? No . . . was it a failure? No, I went through 3 of them, and knew lots of other engineering/physics/Comp Sci folks that actually bought as many of them as we could get our hands on. And honestly, they worked better (with custom software) at scanning barcodes than your phones camera does right now.

    Only thing I think you missed a bit on was Skype. Microsoft certainly didn’t soar with it directly, but they essentially bought it to jump start what is now Teams and Teams is really the primary meeting and communication app next to email in the corporate world. Zoom came and went with the pandemic, with some circles still over there, but Teams is here to stay for business. It wasn’t quite ready yet in early 2020, but it’s ubiquitous now and anchors the office 355 user base.

      @@stansman5461 I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Teams is very much in the foreground of businesses using Microsoft 365 products. Not "all" businesses use 365 products of course, but around 20 Billion in revenue last I saw is a big chuck, and every one of those companies gets Teams for free and a large portion of them use it for at least business chat and video if not also external collaboration. If you mean to say that the public market of consumers doesn't see Teams much, that is true, but that's not, nor was it ever, the target for Teams. Teams wasn't ever trying to capitalize on the public consumer video conference market, they were trying to become the de-facto standard for business collaboration and they've pretty much done that for everyone using 365. And to be clear, I'm not saying nobody in business uses Zoom or others, because many certainly do, but the market share of Teams is unmistakable in the business world.

    Skype didn't really die, and they didn't become complacent.
    Microsoft got so far ahead in development with Skype that they felt it wasn't the same app anymore. So they redesigned the UI and renamed it Teams.
    Because if its tight integration with Microsoft's other product, Teams became more business focused and is now the preferred communication app for businesses around the world.
    Why use give apps for email, instant messaging and calls, when you could use one seamlessly integrated office package?

    Skype was a huuuuuge fail. I remember using it for instant messaging in high school and remembering the day that I updated it on my iPod Touch, I was in the gym for an assembly. I opened it after updating and thought "yeah, it's time to look for an alternative, I hate what they've done with this"
    The first thing I remember hating about the changes was moving to cloud storage instead of local storage. I believe before that it was basically device to device, so if you logged in on a new device, your messages would be retrieved from another one? Or you'd at least have a local database on that device. Since then it's just gotten worse and worse.

    Thank you for another great list! I do have to disagree with you on Skype, though. Microsoft didn't buy Skype to compete with Zoom, they bought it for Teams. The fact that it had a consumer following was nice, but for everyone who uses Zoom for external calls, I bet you they're making 10x as many calls on Teams, and if Microsoft didn't have a solid video conferencing solution, Teams would have crashed and burned. So it's annoying that they didn't keep up with the consumer side, but that wasn't really the main point.

That's at least 2 times better than the average car. The advantage of a 3 wheel car is that it is considered a motorcycle, so you can drive it in the HOV lanes with only one person. By the way, technically, Elio is still in business and hasn't died yet.

    The ZTE Hawkeye sounds like a great idea but the problem is that it only goes for specific people. The specs are bad, the consumers ideas were only cool to a select few and other phone types like gaming phones and high specs, cheap and midranges as well as flagships. To do this is just confusing and wouldn't sell as well if it's only for a select few who like this. Not good for sales. If they want to do this they should've used better hardware and come up with better ideas.

It was a cool concept, I wonder how much potential it would have had if Microsoft never touched it.

      Or if Microsoft actually allowed it to grow instead of trying to artificially inflating it. I think beam/mixer would of easily had a chance to do more if it was alive today because people are really getting sick of twitch.

    I'd say that, for skype, while the video conference aspect was overtaken by zoom, but the social aspect was overtaken by Discord. Discord has some basic video and voice conferencing features, but it's main attraction is it's nature as a platform for invite-only communities. This was originally intended to let friends play games together with voicechat without relying on in-game voicechat, or for games that didn't have it, but now is used for... a lot of things really.
