Cringely's 2002 Predictions

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the looking-in-the-crystal-ball dept.

An anonymous reader submitted Cringley's 2002 predictions. Nothing totally unexpected: XML will explode (hasn't it already?) and Microsoft will keep their mits in every big deal in the tech industry. Other stuff too, like the return of VCs and IPO frenzies (yawn), and that Rich Media won't quite make it yet in 2002.

    So Bob says that Cox is going to grab AT&T's cable TV division, eh? Is that supposed to be TWO predictions in one? Given that Comcast already has inked a deal with AT&T for a $72 billion merger with the Broadband division (which includes cable tv)...is Bob trying to tell us that he believes the deal is going to fall through and Cox will do better?

    Or is Bob just behind the times?
