loss leader

An item that a retail stores sells at a loss in order to get people in the doors to buy other normally priced items.

If Wal-Mart were to sell a television for $20, they would probably lose money on that item (this is the loss leader); however, they are hoping that they can make it up by the other normally priced items you buy.

shovelware

1. Software that is hastily made, without proper testing, and 'shoveled' down consumers throats in order to make some quick cash.

2. Software that is preloaded onto a computer, that does nothing but slow down performance and does nothing beneficial, but is added in order to increase price or add appeal into purchasing a computer.

1. Battlefield 2: Special Forces Expansion Pack is a recent example of shovelware; it causes CTD's, system failures, massive performance decreases, and addresses NONE of the original game problems.

2. Frank bought a computer just because it had a lot shovelware preloaded onto it, and now it takes 45 minutes to start up.
