An item or feature that, while it initially appears to or is presented as having value, actually turns out to be relatively worthless.
My ISP sent me a CD of supposedly great software, but it just turned out to be nothing but gimcracks and swag.

In a vast cubicle office environment, when one stands up in one's own cube and looks along the tops of the many cube walls stretching out to the horizon. The cube horizon can be interrupted by the heads of people walking around. And by many heads at once if there is a loud, unexplained noise in the area. This can result in a phenomenom called prairie-dogging: many people stand up and look around like prairie dogs coming out of their holes.
I first came across "cube horizon" in James Hynes' novel "Kings of Infinite Space."

Source of the word "pathetic." An almost predetermined likelihood that events will play out in a certain way. Resistance is futile (pathetic)... the 'stupidity' of trying to change things that are obviously going to go in a certain direction.
Manfred was overcome by the pathos in Hamlet.
Jimmy saw the oil all over the road right in front of his car, so he stomped on the brakes and turned the wheel to avoid the concrete wall on the other side. How pathetic.
