Browsing through the Jan. 9 issue of BusinessWeek I decided it was time for some predictions.
- Sony will introduce a new eBook reader that will sell for an estimated $300-$500. Prediction: This will be a total flop.
- There is an article about whether the Dow should ditch GM as part of the DJIA. Prediction: Who cares? The DJIA probably has the highest "most followed/useful information" of anything I can think of.
- Intel's reinvention will do little to help its bottom line. It looks like a horrible combination of envelope #1 (blame your predecessor) and envelope #2 (reorganize!) at the same time. At the bottom of page 54, new Intel CEO Paul Otellini is asked if he will have a motto as former CEO Andy Grove did. He answers that Grove came up with his after 5 or 6 years on the job and to come back and ask him them. Prediction: Dream on, Paul. 2010 will not find you working at Intel.

Happy New Year to you too!
Since you mentioned you were surprised at how long you kept the blog going, I thought I'd look at when you started. Your prediction for Paul hasn't come true yet, but you still have 12 months to come out on top in the prediction game.
I don't know anything about the Sony e-reader, but I googled it and was surprised that it still exists. I know about the Kindle, so maybe it is a flop!
Well the blog hasn't seen this much action in quite a while. I should close it more often. :)
