Bloatware in general. There have been many products I would pay a higher price for with out all the bs. I feel like they should offer a cheap option with all the bs and a premium version that comes without. It would suck to have to pay for that, but there are times that I would be willing.

Everything being "dumbed down" for mobile. Mobile first development can really limit what you put on a web site, from the number of products offered to how many words you put on a page.

I bought a speaker that has that system, and not bluetooth. Pain in the arse to get it connected. I can't ever remember the steps, and have to review the instructions erry time. Great speaker that is a waste because I find BT so much easier, and my old ears can't hear any difference.

In the same vein, use of new buzzwords to just rebrand existing tech, making corps think it's some shiny new toy. "The cloud" is a great example.

The cloud is a terrible example of this. The cloud actually is a shiny new toy. It's not just offsite storage, it's offsite computing. Big businesses may not need to buy and maintain their own physical servers any more. Small businesses may not even need a virtual server as they can use cloud based software for everything from accounting to CRM.

That may have been the promise of network computing of yesterday, but they are actually delivering today.
