DVDs (in general) are probably the most counter-intuitively designed products of the past 20 years in my opinion.

Right. As the anti-story to Steve's toddler, I once left my parents, both former nuclear physicists who've been using computers from time to time since the early 1960s, but who'd never used a DVD player before, in my house with the suggestion that they'd probably enjoy Fellowship of the Ring on DVD. They couldn't get it to work. (And this wasn't even Hugo's house: I had one TV, one SCART input, speakers built-in to the TV.)
