Google+ and glasses-free 3DTV (via parallax barrier) fulfill two of those predictions :P . Though the autostereoscopic TV's are still pretty crappy, but they're the first of a new technology, so I'll cut them some slack...for now.

My prediction: by the end of 2011, people will still be whining about December 2012. By the end of 2012, people will be whining about the apocalypse in 2020. And by the end of that, it'll be 2050. And then 3000. Etc. etc. for the rest of all time. And, ironically, when the real end of the world comes, it'll be a surprise to everyone :lol: .

-IMP ;) :)

2020 isn't the next big apocalypse date, it's January 19 2038 with the 32 bit UNIX problem, followed by April 13 2036 with 99942 Apophis.

Also, Cody's predictions are mostly true:

- Another new turn on the iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad series from Apple
- Windows 8 will be announced and betas will begin. :r
- Google OS will be officially released to the public.
The iPad 2 came out, the iPhone 5 should come in September.
Windows 8 was announced, betas should begin this year (I heard it's scheduled for April 2012).
Chrome OS was released this month.

Well, I may not know the actual dates (I really don't care enough to look them up), but the point stands that people will ALWAYS be looking ahead to the "end of the world in my lifetime" and it will never come when we expect it to. Well, except the educated and scholarly; they'll know years in advance while everyone else clings to conspiracies.

We're in the new year now and it's time for your predictions of events, deaths, etc.
In 2012 we can dig this topic up and find who got what right. :D
I predict:

  • Ian McShane's death
  • Unsuccessful attempt on Obama's life
  • You won't remember who Ted Williams is
  • Spanish economy collapses
  • New Xbox (That's compatible with the Kinect)
  • Google will try launch a social network (Facebook Competitor) or buy Facebook itself
  • Apple will stop making iPod Shuffles
  • Iran will reveal their nuclear programme is for "self-defence"
  • TV's that require no 3D glasses will be made/go into production
  • Elder Scrolls Skyrim will become the highest grossing game of all time


Your turn. :P
Big Annual Bump!

Missed a few, got a few spot on. I think I need a pat on the back for predicting Google+. :P
How'd everyone else do?
