From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   crapplet n.   [portmanteau, crap + applet] A worthless applet,
   esp. a Java widget attached to a web page that doesn't work or even
   crashes your browser.   Also spelled `craplet'.
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   crippleware n.   1. [common] Software that has some important
   functionality deliberately removed, so as to entice potential users
   to pay for a working version.   2. [Cambridge] Variety of {guiltware}
   that exhorts you to donate to some charity (compare {careware},
   {nagware}).   3. Hardware deliberately crippled, which can be
   upgraded to a more expensive model by a trivial change (e.g.,
   cutting a jumper).
  
      An excellent example of crippleware (sense 3) is Intel's 486SX
   chip, which is a standard 486DX chip with the co-processor dyked out
   (in some early versions it was present but disabled).   To upgrade,
   you buy a complete 486DX chip with _working_ co-processor (its
   identity thinly veiled by a different pinout) and plug it into the
   board's expansion socket.   It then disables the SX, which becomes a
   fancy power sink.   Don't you love Intel?

      2. (Cambridge) {Guiltware} that exhorts you to donate to some

      Compare {careware}, {nagware}.
  
      3. Hardware deliberately crippled, which can be upgraded to a
      more expensive model by a trivial change (e.g. removing a
      jumper).   A correspondant gave the following example:
  
      In 1982-5, a friend had a {Sharp} {scientific calculator}
      which was on the list of those permitted in exams.   No
      programmable calculators were allowed.
  
      A very similar, more expensive, programmable model had two
      extra keys for programming where the cheaper version just had
      blank metal.
  
      My friend took his calculator apart (as you would) and lo and
      behold, the rubber switches of the program keys were there on
      the circuit board.   So all he had to do was cut a hole in the
      face.   For exams he would pre-load the calculator with any
      useful routines, put a sticker with his name on it over the
      hole, and press the buttons through the sticker with a pen.
