The Music Biz: Something Important Is On The Horizon

Sorry, just not going to happen. File this with flying cars - and pigs, for that matter.

This prediction needs so many components to occur,not the least a large chunk of human behaviour change, and a total lack of profit for all this streaming.
No chance.

Hey Microsoft, I've Got A Better Idea

Microsoft are doomed to decline, albeit slowly.
They are incapable of doing anything new.

Its important to remember that M$ were successful when computing was new - now that its a mature market, their Windows OS is exposed as a giant hack.

Although they are still making billions every year, they are also losing billions on EVERY product except Office and Windows.

Ballmer is a ridiculous figure as a CEO - they need to find someone much younger, who can think clearly, but they wont do that.

They just cant change. Thats why they are doomed.

Microsoft: Big and Rich, but Increasingly Toothless

Microsoft is in decline - this stupid yahoo deal will only accelerate that.
Its a slow decline, but still a decline.
How much longer can they lose billions a year on crap like zune and xbox?
