I love the prediction season, mainly because you can generate 1000s of page loads without thinking about it.
First the scores for some of last years predictions form The Guardian and myself.
Let’s start with a banker. No self-replicating worm for Mac OSX or the iPhone’s OSX by the end of the year.
FAIL. Too bad. We’ve had 2! There is an argument that it’s not a real worm because; a, It only attacks Jail-broken iPhones and b, It only effected Australians.
ZFS won’t be built into the kernel for Snow Leopard; it’ll be an optional install, for server honchos.
Well, half right, half wrong. I’ll give it a C-.
The iPhone software will be updated to 3.x, which will bring copy-and-paste and photo messaging. About time.
B+, only because these were such easy predictions.
Please read Charles Arthur’s full article as I have only cherry picked a few quotes.
