Eight IT Analysts' Predictions for 2009

It's disappointing how year after year the technology pundits crawl out the same tired themes. In addition, so few of these predictions are actionable in any way.

That said, I found Morgenthal's 5 points interesting. While I don't agree with all of them I think they are well thought out and I would guess he is the only one who has implemented anything this decade; e.g. actually gotten his hands dirty writing some code.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts; yearly predictions are always fun to read.

I've been a daily or weekly SeekingAlpha reader for well over a year. Dennis makes a good point here and it is discouraging that more and more posts (especially those mentioning Apple, Microsoft, and Ebay) have these nonsensical comments.
