Camera and facetime for the iPad. iPads and macbooks coming in colors. Web of things will kickoff with arduino and programmable toys that can be controlled from and ipad/iphone. Geolocation businesses are the new black. One can possibly disrupt eBay or craigslist. Facebook IPO will be the best evar in terms of hype and money made. Just to deflate at the end of the year and leave the tech world in ruins. Google IS the cloud. Mac mini 'soapbar'. More power that fits in your hand. Firefox 4 will never catch up to Chrome. Too late. Too sad. Ubuntu thinks about re-branding in order to pass the 10% market share. They are that good. Apple TV? They slowly got the trademarking and patents issue solved. They'll go for a screen now, a real TV that streams and record your shows/movies. But not until 2012...

Year of the Linux desktop? I'm just curious about actual numbers now. Did it reach 1% already?

  Does the desktop really matter, though? 2010 is clearly the Year of Linux on the Computer that Fits in your Pocket. Android's gains in smartphone share are nothing short of phenomenal. I think something like 25% of Q3 smartphone sales worldwide were Android...that's incredible. Linux is actually important in the consumer space, right now.

    His prediction was specifically about Ubuntu brand, which is mainly known for Desktop. I really want to see the Bug #1 resolved, but I am not that optimistic.

Firefox 4 beta is already faster than Chrome. http://arewefastyet.com/ http://arewefastyet.com/

  Those graphs compare only the JavaScript runtimes on two standardized tests; hardly a measurement of overall browser performance.

  I don't think OP was referring to JavaScript speed, but to user adoption. Chrome is rising fast and Firefox share is pretty stable. Chrome's got the momentum.

> Google IS the cloud. I disagree with this. Google was the cloud. Google had an early advantage in the cloud game with their internal infrastructure. Google devs could produce apps on a platform not available to the rest of the world. As publicly available tools mature to the same level, anyone will be able to produce the same kind of robust, infinitely-scalable cloud apps. Actually that's already happening, to some degree.
