THIS! Who is paying these jackanapes to spew absurdities? The same people making money spouting prophecies of "tablets will kill desktop computing" are now being paid to spew prophecies of "tablets are dead". The original author is a bit of a fool to discount the tablet upgrade cycle, IMO. Why tech forecasters always ignore the facts is beyond me. But then again, very few economist-marketing types have any idea what an externality is. Here is a hint: "desktop sales are declining" is a natural consequence of "tablet sales are increasing", just as "stagnating tablet sales" is a natural consequence of "current generation tablet saturation".
