The 20 Biggest Tech Failures of 2010

As we wrap up 2010, it's a good time to look back at some of the most notable tech failures of the year..

Blockbuster

Blockbuster's bankruptcy filing was no surprise to users of video rental 2.0—namely, Netflix, Redbox, Hulu, and various set-top boxes and cable on-demand services. Although the company does offer Blockbuster On-Demand and mail-in rentals, this might be a case of "too little, too late," because there's no strategy to make its services any better than what's already available. Blockbuster's rival, Hollywood Video, went bankrupt and closed its doors in February.
