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.
My son, the brilliant prophet.

Had to crack on Elton John, didn’t you? And I shouldn’t need to point this out to you, but bias is in the eye of the observer.

It wasn’t a crack on Elton John. I was clarifying that I knew there had already been a superstar promoting a portable music player.
And you’re right, bias is indeed in the eye of the observer … or in this case, the ticket holder(s).
But do you agree with me about Narnia? That’s what I really care about.
