In beta
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
A program that is in beta or is beta testing is a program that some lazy shit programmer never finished. The program is slapped with the word "Beta" or is refered to as "in beta" to warn individuals that the programmer is a fucktard with no reason to live. The word Beta comes from the greek letter B;, which is a better grade than any of these programmers ever got at ITT Tech.
Also, if you're really eHip you'll attach beta [1] to anything for higher eAppeal:
typical slashdotter: "That microsoft (thing) is shit! Google's (free thing) is much better, and it's only beta"
Sometimes programmers give up and declare, that it "is not a bug, it's a feature"
[edit] Gaming Beta
It should be noted that some of the best versions of Games are their Beta Versions. Such as Warrock, World of Warcraft, and Counter-Strike Source.
Some games like Battletoads were never in beta.
