A computer application so ineptly designed that you decide you don't really need what it does, *that* badly.
I could really use a mail program, but I'm not desperate enough to get mail to want to use that piece of crudware called Microsoft Outlook.

A deck of cards (usually an ordinary set of 52 or 54 playing cards) on which is printed the names and photos of individuals considered by the card printer to be important persons to commit to memory, to make it easier to find and capture them (or kill them).
The official military term for this is "personality identification playing cards".
For the Second Gulf War, Coalition troops were given personality identification playing cards with the names and pictures of Iraq's most wanted.

I could tell the most-wanted deck I got on E-bay wasn't authentic, because while Saddam Hussein was the Ace of Spades, Tariq Aziz was the Eight of Clubs.

A portmanteau of hype and typecast, hypecasting is where a company adopts a popular song as a theme song for its commercials, running them for so long a period of time or so frequently that whenever one hears the song, one cannot help but think of the company who co-opted it. Often the corporation will take a specific line of the song and focus on that section of the song to the exclusion of the rest of its lyrics, effectively "typecasting" the song as the theme song of said company, overruling the song's original message.

From "punctuation emoticon": A smiley used in addition to or instead of traditional punctuation, intended to introduce extra meaning on top of the literal meaning of the sentence in a nonverbal manner.
I told Mike online that he should go DIAF, but I ended my IM with a smiley punctuicon so he wouldn't think I was really that mad at him:
"Go DIAF Mike:)"
"Go DIAF Mike:)"

The annoying tendency of Windows applications to clutter up your desktop, quicklaunch bar, and start menu with multiple shortcuts to their software without bothering to ask permission first, as if you're only too happy to be burdened the convenience of having to click on your mouse one or two fewer times to run the software. Also applies to shortcuts to third-party programs bundled with the installed software, usually unasked-for and often unwanted.
