Apple Power Mac G4 Cube
Lifespan: July 2000—July 2001
Price: $1,599.99
Pushed As: Future of the Power Mac
Why It Failed: The G4 Cube was Steve Jobs' pride-and-joy. The Cube was a work of art, a full-powered, quiet desktop machine floating in a clear plastic case. Too bad it was slow and extremely overpriced.

I think the new TickleMe Plant Greenhouse is more then just a craze. It will be grown for generations to come. Watching the fan like leaves close up like magic when Tickled is something kids will never forget. Like the song says I Love My TickleMe Plant

Personally, I love the lists. I look forward all the time to see the latest and newest ones they have up.

Yup, seems pretty lame to me.

The *lack of enough sales* of an overpriced but well-designed device is what made the Cube un-apple like.
