I do not believe much in the predictions though I confess that many times there are people who guess many things in the future and gives a little scary …

Predictions are great, it's good to have a preview of what will happen in the coming months on the world wide web. Although everything is so changeable that probably many changes will surprise us all! Greetings to all, Jennifer Larsen | Enigmas y Misterios

I like the predictions though I confess that I sometimes get a little scary. The prediction 1 for example, I think it would do much evil to the world if it falls that power. I think the world is not ready for that, or the countries against the U.S.. Thank you,Joshua Carpenter - vudu

I think the rise of an open gaming platform is a win too- witness the ascendence of Unity3d

i) Agree with Chris (2nd commenter from the top) on #2 and #5>>

#2: should be a fail, given his comments and that "google buzz" was released in 2010 vs. your prediction that "minimize its efforts in media, including social media, seeking to embrace and partner rather than compete directly"

#5: clear fail. money/purchases are much stronger and clearer votes of success than words

ii) #7 is a +1 for me. google as a search engine has become progressively more frustrating

sorry, but you utterly blow your cred by trying to avoid admitting your were utterly wrong about the iPad last year. trying to rationalize your way out of it is really lame.

man up and eat some crow. show some class.

Prediction #5: Apple's "iTablet" will disappoint... I'd score this a push.

No, you were flat out wrong. Quit equivocating. You blew it. But then, you were the guys that said this about 2009...

"8. Apple will see a significant reversal of recent fortunes."

And you tried pull this "push" crap then as well.

I'd say this one was a push, not wrong, but not entirely right....yet.

No. Horsecrap. Wrong again, and not only for that year, but up until this point! Are you still going to give yourself a "push" every time because of what *could* happen after the time period you made the prediction *for* actually expires?

You do understand what a prediction "for 2009" means, right?

Dude, you totally missed #5. By a long long way. Just because you’d failed to see the use case and still do, you give yourself a push?

#6 – you were wrong on. You could use your defense for almost every product ever. We always want more, but Apple shipped a product that we still wanted.

#7 – This has started to come true for me. The amount of link farms and Google Ads Google links me to has been making me crazy. Surround my results with ads – fine. Please don’t link me to more and more of them.

In 2011, you should try to be very vague and then at the end of the year you can be even more generous on the results.
