1. It will be declared the Year of Linux on the Desktop.
2. Vista will be released. Despite analyst's warnings, it will actually sell rather well.
3. Apple will release another iPod, it will sell like hotcakes. Nobody will notice that its not actually that different from the last one.
4. The blogosphere will collapse in on itself as the key figures realise that blogging is too mainstream and they have to invent something else to rave about.
5. Richard Stallman will declare Linux the enemy of "really free" software. Nobody else will pay him any attention.
6. PC magazines well publish various "Top 10 tips to speed up Vista" lists, at least half the tips will be placebos at best. At least one will actually degrade performance.
7. 64 bit Windows will continue to feel unfinished.
8. The first wave of WPF apps will appear on shareware sites. Almost all of them will feature ridiculous amounts of video and animation, because they can.
9. A Zune owner will finally find someone to try and share music with, sadly that person will only have Celine Dion.
10. Towards December, 2008 will be declared the Year of Linux on the Desktop.

Well…at least the future will be bloody hilarious.

My predictions?

1.       There will finally be real AI

The rest soon.

Interesting.  I've never understood why the Beatles are so great and since you've just gotten into them can you tell me why they are good?

I wondered that as well.

The answer is innovation; they took the rock genre to a totally different level in terms of complexity of both musical structure and lyrics. If you listen to the rock of the 1950 you will notice a constant simplicity in the tune, while The Beatles have enhanced it by changing the way the music was constructed.

If you really want to hear one of  their best songs, in my opinion, check out the song Eleanor Rigby.  as I said before good stuff.

EDIT: This explains it better

Oops Double Post

The Beatles new Love. I never listened to The Beatles before and now i can't stop. Really good stuff.

" For anyone that doesn't think it's real, a Microsoft Technical Evangelist (read: employee) sent me an e-mail about it. MSDN did something very similar a while back with their MSDN webcasts series. It's legit. I promise."

Basicly its about how the web will be adaptive and smart using AI.

Now lets assume it is possible to create artificial intelligence and lets assume you created one.
How would you use is? meaning what applications/uses would you utilize it for?

BTW this theoretical AI is capable of anything unlike todays AI.

Yes I saw this one absolutly briliant and beautiful.

Oh you tease

Meh, I excpected more after that video with Fripp.

XP's sounds sound more majestic, while the vista one feels weak.
Maybe in context it feels better.
