Bob Cringely's assessment of his predictions last year and his predictions for the coming year. My thoughts:

- too bad we have to have monopolies. With Dell it's ok because computers have basically become a commodity. But with Windows we pay inflated prices for a bad standard. Hopefully Linux will push Windows to higher quality. Too bad we don't have a user-friendly Linux yet (do we? one that has a user-friendly GUI and doesn't require UNIX commands?)

- Death to the RIAA! (but you knew I felt that way.)

- #14 - I doubt it, though I wish it were so.

- It makes sense that Google would be the ones to further penetrate weblogs and help to provide even more helpful content from them.
