Wildbwilson, no of course it doesn't mean the food cooked on it is by definition crap, Chris stated that it was harder to do and that it makes you nuts.
But i like to add some things to that list
-Digital TV which supposedly gives you better quality but you have to deal with a decoder designed by monkeys
-remote controlled sunshades, because it is slower, the remote breaks or is lost, or the whole thing and the manufacturer won't give a refund because it is clearly stated in the manual that the sun can damage the sensitive receptors.
-Digital cameras that give cleaner pictures cheaper but the camera suppliers only give you slow zooms, so you end up with the same grain and although you don't pay film, your camera is worth nothing after 6 months and you need to buy extra harddiscs and a faster computer since everyone who can get their hands on your camera just sprays, hoping they get a funny shot. If you delete those photo's you're a mean person so costwise it all evens out except that you don't get as nice colors, not as much dynamic range, newer camera's have crappy build quality, small viewfinders and are generally frustrating.
-noise cancelling headphones since maybe the outside noise is blocked (and you don't hear the truck coming) you hear the noise and imperfections is the presentation of 'phones better and you would have been better off with the cheaper better sounding cans.
