And products that have visualization as one of their top three features will earn $1 billion per year,' says Ramana Rao, founder and chief technology officer, Inxight Software Inc., Sunnyvale, Calif.

...can be predicted from the past.

Anyone who is in business knows all to well that the primary concern of a business executive is figuring out how to game the system so he can rake in a bundle of loot by whatever means possible. His tools are fraud, lies, double-dealing and partnerships with like minded people, as the employees of American Airlines just found out.

Visualization software? Not bloody likely.
