Who's Out
The nine companies that slid off the Wired 40 this year.
Citi Mirroring the global economy is a nice business - but the temptation to play it safe is overwhelming.
Costco Where's the innovation? Warehouses are not museums.
DuPont
Two cheers for eco-plastics , but the "science company" needs fewer products and more vision.
InfoSpace
The action is in search and mobile content. Unfortunately the numbers aren't.
JetBlue Never mind the blizzard debacle. Low-cost point-to-point air travel was already old news.
L-3 Communications Zippy battlefield comms gear is cool, but it doesn't win wars.
Li & Fung Group
With China making the leap to exporting computers and cars, T-shirts are unimpressive.
Pfizer

SAP Selling online enterprise software is harder than it looks. And Oracle's take-over pirates are sailing rings around SAP's "organic growth."
