"There’s even a term for the useless software that people make: vaporware. The idea is that it’s created, and then it evaporates because nobody works on the project after the hackathon (despite everyone’s best intentions)."

Has anyone ever heard this definition of vaporware before?

Also see the new definition of shareware: an app going viral because so many people are sharing it.

I hadn't heard the new definitions of either term. Maybe I'm not drinking enough Kool Aid these days haha.
