Vaporware 2008

Overdue is apparently the new vaporware, as Wired's Vaporware 2008 list is live, subtitled "Crushing Disappointments, False Promises and Plain Old BS," which may be a reference to the fact that they again honor Duke Nukem Forever, four years after eliminating 3D Realms' long-overdue shooter from contention with a lifetime vaporware achievement award. The soup seems to be a little thin this year at Vaporware high command, as the new list also includes PlayStation Home which they somehow argue qualifies in spite of being out, and StarCraft II is now Vaporware by their estimation since it was announced in May 2007 but is not out yet. Other targets of their impatience are Hero's Journey, cell phone projectors, and IE8. Thanks nin.
