Form over Function

Guy 1: Hey, what kind of computer did you get?

Guy 2: I got an apple! They look so damn sexy and they come with exclusive applications, like Safari!

Guy 1: You're a dumbass dude

Guy 2: Why?

Guy 1: All Apple does is make nice looking products, they have terrible performance issues. They're all about aesthetics, not performance. If that isn't a classic case of form over function, I don't know what is.

Form over Function

Ok so, I have an Apple TV. And I've been watching Harvey Birdman, and every morning I wake up and I sit on my recliner just to watch the program that Brett Buck calls "Must-see TV". It's all fun, good- and... fun until I try to get up or my cat bites my penis and I get scared, start flailing around. Then the TV remote falls into the cushions, and I have to get up and spend the next 10 minutes looking for this tiny piece of garbage. This is the definition of "form over function": a touchpad that's too sensitive dd-d--s-s-d-- it's so fucking thin it phases through matter. I hate this object, this is the bane of my incredibly uninteresting life.

Person 1: Hey what cool new thing did you buy?
Person 2: An Apple TV
1: That thing is the literal definition of form over function...

abandonware

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.

Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
