Technologies That Were Huge Flops In 2014
Apple iCloud:
No matter the size of a company, every business has an embarrassing moment. Well that is exactly what happened to Apple. Hailed as one of the safest technological companies when it comes to protecting their customer’s information, Apple had their prestigious iCloud storage hacked and images of some of the leading actresses and actors in Hollywood leaked. The company has however taken new steps to improve their security on the storage platform iCloud.
Hangman’s noose around Uber:
One of the most celebrated cab service companies, Uber was started in the U.S. and has since expanded to some companies across the globe. This company however has been having an uphill battle in keeping their identity clean from all kinds of allegations. They appointed David Plouffe, the mastermind behind President Barack Obama’s political campaign back in 2008 to help improve the company’s reputation. However, this has not been successful as the company is on the verge of being shut down in India and other parts of the world too.
Google Glass:
Search engine giant Google had a pretty rough year with their Google glass product. When news of a virtual glass that could do as much a phone would was going to be released in the market by Google there was a bit of excitement. However, this excitement didn’t last since the glass did not click in the market. Well they are coming out with a new version of the glass called Google glass 2.0.
