Business 2.0 Magazine recently put together a list of The 50 People Who Matter Now, and in doing so, also came across 10 people they decided don't matter at all. This list of 10 includes some very high ranking executives, but they are people "whose power had peaked, whose influence had waned, or whose true importance we felt was overstated," according to the magazine.

One of them is Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft and "lame duck," and another is resident crackpot Ken Kutaragi of Sony, father of the Playstation. This is what they had to say about him:

Remember the Betamax debacle? Sony seems to have forgotten all about it. Under Kutaragi, who is the power behind Sony's PlayStation videogame consoles, the company is launching another format war with its Blu-Ray high-definition videodisc, the successor to the venerable DVD. Unfortunately, the PlayStation 3, which was supposed to put Blu-Ray into millions of living rooms, is months late and hundreds of dollars more expensive than competing consoles from Microsoft and Nintendo - largely because it includes one-of-a-kind technologies like Blu-Ray. The delays and cost overruns are likely to make both the PS3 and Blu-Ray nonstarters.

Even "real" business people don't listen to Ken. You can check out the rest of the list at CNN, though you probably won't recognize half the entries.
