Top Ten Tech Predictions for 2005
Three random people have asked me already, so… here's my Top Ten Tech Predictions for 2005:
- MSN Search will be renamed to 'MSN Graham's Number'
- Robert Scoble will be fired and/or hired by another company at twice his current salary
- George Lucas announces three more Star Wars films (dubbed 'Suckquels'), after Special Editions for the Prequels and Super-Duper Mega Deluxe Power Special XP Uber Plus Editions for the Original Trilogy are re-pre-pro-issued
- Adobe Reader 7.0.1 will be released, solidifying its place in the Guinness Book of World's Records as the “Most Painfully Long Boot Process for an Application that Everybody Needs.”
- eBay will eBay itself on eBay
- Microsoft will begin issuing patches as viruses and spyware, thus boosting update adoption by ten billion percent
- The RIAA will make writing on any kind of CD illegal
- Everybody and their grandmother will have a podcast that's just as boring and useless as their blogs
- To compete with Atom in the marketplace, Harvard will start calling RSS 'Eve'
- It becomes legal to castrate / sterilize spammers under vigilante justice
Time is on my side. Yes, it is.

Well agreed. And don't forget to add, that Peter will be known to be “God”.

Since Chris already wrote the top 10, how about we write the runner up-ers
Here's my prediction
11. It will be leaked (from an anonymous insider) that 70% of AOL subcribers don't have computers, and thought the shiny thing was a souveneir for filling out the questionaire.

If eBay sells itself on eBay, who gets eBay's fees. The old or new owners?

By June of 2005, everyone will know that a grace period from July 1 – 15 will be their last chance to remove abandoned, outdated, duplicate, redundant, and otherwise useless, bandwidth-hogging junk before the recognized major (ethical) bots make a big run with erasers activated.
Or is this only a pipedream?
