Every December, Wired News asks its readers to nominate their choices for our annual Vaporware awards. We hand out accolades (and raspberries) to the most-prized products that were promised but never delivered. Reader votes have helped whittle the list down to the top 10 honorees for the 2007 Podium of Shame. So, with a quick nod to this year's honorable mention -- Iran's nuclear weapons program -- let's savor the vapor, starting with the bottom of the short list."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/cgg-dukenukem-12212007.jpg" /><br /><br />This list has a little something for everyone, from perpetual motion machines to 802.11 n and even some Windows Mobile 6. Of course no list would be complete without perennial favorite, Duke Nukem Forever. Strange, when/if this is finally released, there will be kids playing it who were not even born when development started.
