Predictions version 2006

Here are my somewhat bold but somewhat boring predictions for the year of 2006. In no particular order:

Design-wise: More gradients and the resurgence of neons
A new Apple.com
TiVo will find new life
Seahawks and Broncos in the Superbowl … or at least the ‘Hawks
Yet another friend of mine will be wed (congrats Matt and Rachel!)
Superman will flop, X-Men III will rock, MI-3 will bore
At least two Grammys for Imogen Heap
Four “iPod killers” will step and fall
One “iPod killer” will finally take some market share, but only because some superstar pushes it (besides Elton John, com’on people)
Vista will be delayed yet again and receive even more bad press
Narnia will be nominated, but not win, several awards from the Academy – because the Academy are idiots
More politically-bias movies
Faster-than-broadband wireless data will continue to gain popularity while VoIP and Skype-like mechanisms will begin showing their weaknesses
More AJAX and the rebirth of Flash in a brand new Adobe-branded diaper
A digital camera and phone from Apple, as well as the Intel PowerBooks

That’s all I got for now. Gimme a break, half of that stuff I came up with in the shower this morning.
