Computer games sort of peaked with the 360 and PS3. Since then the development time and costs have gotten out of hand to the point of only having 2/3 games from xbox or Sony per console. It's pointless.

In 30 years of working the only improvement is working from home. Better family life, no commute, fewer vehicles on the road, less stress, a fortune saved in lunches and parking. Anyone against it is pure evil.

Software that really should be hardware is the worst. Oh, I can't turn my volume down until I've logged into my laptop.

The bloke who hires out skis on Horace Goes Skiing should probably have opened his shop on the other side of the road.

Socket/connector design peaked with the 1/4 inch jack. Never ever breaks, omnidirectional, and is incredibly satisfying to plug in. They could be used for anything if they just added more rings.
