Cringely's predictions

"Cringely's Predictions
Robert Cringely reviews his 2006 predictions and offers the following for 2007:



1) Apple releases iTV, a bunch of flat-panel MacTV's that contain Mac Minis, etc. This is broken record and exactly what I predicted last year, but I still mean it.

4) No one DRM technology emerges as the winner and the RIAA begins to back off as it loses a few legal cases. Still, no Internet-only song wins a Grammy or is even recognized as existing.

10) The year the net crashed (in the USA). Video overwhelms the net and we all learn that the broadband ISPs have been selling us something they can't really deliver."

It could also be:

1) Apple releases iTV and people buy it, not because they like it, but because it is a "Must have".

4) Who wants DRM? Anyway, whatever you invent, the next minute you break it.

10) The year they realized that for a new application that needs high bandwidth you can find a newer application that runs without consuming too much bandwidth.
That is what progress is made of.
Create the need and you'll find the solution.
