RE: Mobile broadband modems (Gallery: 10 most annoying hardware headaches)
You missed out 64 bit CPU's, when hardly any software companies supports them.

The mobile phone thing? Why do I want everything on a phone? Am I wearing a red Star Trek uniform? then there is no chance I need a tricorder, just answer calls and send texts enough already with stupid small screens, tinny sounds, little kids playing all the tunes behind you on the train/bus/car. Want to listen to music? BUY A Portable player of your choice but if you are going to play songs on your phone please do it in solitude as listening to it walking down the street on your phone makes even the best music sound like it is being sung by the Chipmunks.

Who designs Motherboards? Are they truly twisted? first off why are all those tiny little connectors all inaccessible when in the case? Why do they put the bios reset under all the cards? Why do I want more lights than Blackpool in, on and around my psu, fans, flashing lights inside the case on your ram with a window on the side? No! as once the pc is in the desk you cannot see the pretty colours.

Mice great idea but do I really need more keys on it than a locksmith? Do I care if my mouse is more sensitive than my hormonal partner, do I need to know it can pickup an air biscuit let loose in Australia?

I would like to ask how many cables do I need and how come they are too short and have a life of their own? How do they tie knots with each other even after you spent three hours wriggling behind a desk making sure they are all cleanly going from peripheral to pc, with no discernible way to tell which is for what when you need to remove one, unless like me you put stickers on them.
