Some of the ones I love to hate...
#1 Why is there no switched outl;et on the back of a PCs opowersupply so I dont have to manually turn off my monitor, printer, speakers, external drive, video camera, usb hub and dsl router? This one is so simple and so obvious fro so long... Go go green or die zwie!

#2 network scanning and MFP's in general. Why stop at the inkjets? The sadly deficient mfps with 650 meg setup packages that still wont support twauian and have only a buggy home grwon scanner utility really cheese me off. Ok so maybe this one is software...

#3 Camera memory stinks. Thumb drives are in use every where by everything. Usb harddrives like wise. So whats with these #$%#^ memory cards? Just stick a usb port on the camera and let me plug in some of my 15 odd geeksticks, ok? SD is dead! Get real!

#4 What miserable little sadist decieded to make so many PC cases a chinese puzzle box? I dont need secret tabs, disguised panels or hidden clips. You can loose the shock absorbers and the cases that only open 45 degrees. Life is to short. Make it simple and obvious. It's not really so hard. There have been plenty of great boxes but they inevitably get replaced by a MILSPEC rube goldberg contraption.
