markitecture 

A computing or networking architecture suggested by the marketing department for sales purposes rather than for technical reasons. Cisco calls them "reference designs".
The oldest mention of "markitecture" I can find dates back from 1990 :

CA 90s was characterized as a "markitecture" by Jeff Schulman, vice president and analyst with the Gartner Group, Stamford, Conn. "It is a marketing architecture, a statement of direction. It does not specify when products will be delivered, or which products will map to the architecture. It does not help users in a specific sense, only in a general sense".

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.

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
