Prediction scorecard
No, I don’t have any predictions from last year to review. I’m not that organized, nor do I have the attention span to even remember what I said/did last year. But Ed Felton, over on Freedom to Tinker, has his review of predictions he made last year. In particular, I like this one:
(10) DRM technology will still fail to prevent widespread infringement. In a related development, pigs will still fail to fly.
I predict this every year, and it’s always right. This prediction is so obvious that it’s almost unfair to count it.
Verdict: Right.
This site is a great techie site. If you aren’t already visiting it, I suggest you add it to your regular site review cycle. I have it in my Bloglines feeds list, and always enjoy reading updates.
