What is this? Definitions

This is a blog dedicated to inform people surfing the world-wide-web about applications that were not written efficiently, are resource-wasting or just useless.

What is shameware?
There is no real, world-wide accepted definition of shameware, it's just a word I made up. This definition of mine combines the meaning of bloatware, hypeware and even more software-related properties like has a lot of features but some basics are missing, labelled as professional but still remains a simplicity-driven, even lamerized software that won't offer any advanced settings.

What is lamerized?
Lamerized software is a disfigured phrase for softwares that were designed for end-users who don't need any tasks other than simple ones. They don't care about software-related issues (CPU-efficiency, memory-efficiency, hardware-efficiency, ergonomic values, etc.), they just live their lifes and want to get their job done, doesn't matter how efficiently. I call these people lamers, so because these softwares were designed for them, I call them lamerized.
