spamvertising 

Form of online advertising that uses spam-like tactics in ways not usually associated with spam. We know about spam in snail mail, e-mail and enwsgroups, but this is a much wider problem:
fake blogs, comments on websites that allow visitors to comment, shell sites, etc.
For some reason, these guys reckon this form of advertising is worth their while. I'd be willing to bet a huge sum of money that less than 0.01% of advertisers who use these tactics actually make money, in fact the majority probably lose money plus the time they've wasted setting it up. Spamvertising just pisses people off, it certainly doesn't make us want to go and spend money on whatever heap a shit you're hawking.
just look at many of the current blog posts on www.weblogs.com
or the waves of spam comments at blogcritics.org

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!
