Top 5 2009 Geek Predictions
In no particular order :
1. [ Watchman ] movie will be pushed back and will end up being a Christmas blockbuster instead of the summer blockbuster starter they were hoping for. Thanks Fox for taking something beautiful and trying to crap all over it. Just one more, in a long list of reasons to despise you as a company.
2. Nothing excitingly new will come from this years, and Apple’s last, MacWorld. By the end of the year, Steve Jobs will have stepped down as CEO and will fill an emeritus roll of some sort.
3. [ Twitter ] will be overrun by malware, spam, and hackers making the service useless and a thing of the past. We have already seen the start of this, and unfortunately the twitter API is full of security holes, and the twitter dev seems to have reactionary view of security instead of a precautionary view. Since Twitter is finally starting to make it stamp in histories timeline of the internet, it will draw far too much exposure from unwanted forces.
4. Net Neutrality will finally get the political backing that it needs to become an actual reality, and yet somehow, the US gov’t will still think that they have the ability or the right to control content on the intertubes.
5. [ Wolverine ] will kick so much ass, that it will make us forget, at least for a little while, how pissed we are that [ Watchman ] still hasn’t been released.
