Worst Application... Ever?
I thought programs like this died out in the 90s
Wednesday, July 18, 2007 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Sometimes you wonder what a company is smoking when it comes time to sit down and dream up a new application and they come up with 3D Mailbox, quite possibly the worst application ever conceived and developed.
Think of it as a low-quality 3D game from the late 1990s, only it's all about reading and sorting your email. Want to get rid of spam? Feed it to a shark. Want to read a message? Your avatar will lounge by the poolside in a bikini while you sort through your latest issue of the 3D Art Gone Wrong electronic newsletter. Does the concept sound incredibly stupid? Well, according to TechCrunch, The Times Online and the Guardian say it's just as ridiculously dumb as it sounds.
Hit the link below for a wonderfully cheesy promo video for possibly the most pointless application ever developed.

And I quote; "Featuring INCREDIBLE 3D graphics".
LMAO. That's got to one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. It's like this Sims meets Outlook Express or something. Beyond weird.

oooww......forgot about that one
The difference would be AOL was packaged with damn near every computer sold for several years whereas Babya was just some wacko's program.

Pointless is the appropriate word indeed . I'm wondering how huge a resources-hog this thing is ? Imagine having that thing running pretty much constantly in the background ( it's like having sims 2 running all the time ,regardless of what you're doing ) ? Imagine using this on an average PC with Vista on it ( in itself not exactly a "slim " OS ) ?
Anyone have an insight on how much memory and CPU-cycles this monstrosity uses ?

Beyond being pointless, it's obviously NSFW.
After all, do you really want your office email to lose its bikini when it dives?

All I saw was a Second Life version of things going on at the beach. I didn't get one idea of what this application actually does. So if someone sends me an email asking how I'm doing, etc I'm going to get girls in bikinis?
I just don't get it.

Wow! This guy must have bean incredibly bored to come of with this application. gees it's just cheese. Nothing wrong with that but why would I want to read 3D email when it would take me less time to read regular email. Now there is two type of email 3D and regular.

Umm, cos it'd make things considerably more interesting if people are sending attachments with girls in skimpy bikinis....maybe it's not so silly after all.

Do emails with large attachments produce avatars with large enhancements?
