David Becker, who occasionally contributes tasty tidbits here at Compiler, has a fantastic [gallery of the lamest technology mascots][1] ever over on the main Wired site today. There's fifteen in all and they aren't really supposed to be in order, but I think it is fitting that it opens with [Clippy][3].

Personally I find the new Adobe clown pretty creepy as well. 

Also be sure to check out the online poll where you can cast your [vote for the lamest mascot][2] ever and add your own suggestions.
