CNet’s top 100 products of 2002

It doesn't look as though the categories are supposed to be taken too seriously, but if you ignore those, CNet has a generally good list of high-tech products. Fancy something? Click through to the review page, select "Read user comments" then click "Only negative" to get a better idea of some of the drawbacks. This approach not foolproof -- for example, you wouldn't get a warning of the Apple Titanium G4 Powerbook's "abysmal performance" with Wi-Fi wireless networks -- and some of the complainants are obvious nutters, but it can provide a welcome bit of balance. And if you don't think any of the reader reviews hits the button, you can always add your own....
