    Until I get this I'm not satisfied.

    I give him a fiar bit of credit: 60% is better than my own 50% from last year's predictions, so Cringely wins the Bob v. Craig Prognostication-Off once again.

    Maybe 2007's forecast will fare better.

  8. I've been saying this for a while... by gearmonger · · Score: 1 · on Virgin Radio Launches 3G Radio Service
    Why satellite radio is a fad.

    Within 10 years, Sirius and XM will either morph into some variant of themselves, or they'll just dry up and blow away.

  9. Re:How good is this? by aggiefalcon01 · · Score: 5, Informative · on Samsung Announces Largest-Ever OLED Display
    Here's another advantage of OLED's: flexibility. The displacy surface can easily be bent, flexed, and straightened. Or, it can be attached to a round surface.

    Think of a device which you pull apart while the display surface unrolls out of the larger half as you're pulling it out (like older window shades). Hollywood showed us this device in the movie Red Planet. True, just the possibility of this is a long way off, but OLED's are a step in this direction.

    GearBits has a cool animation of a pen using this technology.
