Things that are announced too far ahead of time.

So you're a company, and you have an exciting new product.  Or maybe a band with a new album.  You need to learn something: patience.  This is probably the one thing I agree with Apple on.  Don't announce a product until it is ready to be put on store shelves.  No matter the amount of marketing hype you would like to generate, you need to hold back.  Example:  Motorola announced the Droid Bionic back at CES in January.  But the phone didn't launch until less than a month ago.  They had delays with the hardware, and that pushed the launch back by almost half a year.  Another example: Coldplay's new album, Mylo Xyloto.  Only 1 week left until it's released, but we've known about it since at least June.  You understand what I'm saying here?

I had no idea what to do for a picture here..... so enjoy this funny picture.  Click on it to make it bigger if you need to.
