Predictions for 2008: they’re back!
My latest missive at The Guardian (online only) is “What I saw in my crystal ball last night“: which includes the following:
- growth of cloud computing
- rising energy prices
- five updates this calendar year for Leopard (not four, not six)
- no Apple music subscription service (even if there is an Apple video subscription service, and I explain why one but not the other)
- impending death for Vonage, Napster and SCO
- various others…
Have a read, comment here…

Great stuff Charles - hard to argue with any of that.

I predict that you’ll continue to get lots of angry emails from electrosensitives and apple fans.

@Gary: you call that a prediction? That’s on a par with “sun rising in east”.

Heh. It’s nice to have some stability in an ever-changing world…
Personally I’d like to see online backup becoming part of isps’ offerings. Now that our memories are largely digital, the potential for disaster is massive. And solvable thanks to cloud computing.

sorry, forgot to say: mobile web, at last. iPhone, windows mobile 7, carriers being a bit more sensible… The pieces are slowly falling into place. It can’t be crap for *another* year, surely?
