Crystal Ball Gazing

"The man who predicts the future, even when he is right is a liar" The Koran

Business 2.0 has an interesting article about 'What's Next For Apple?'. The article in its weak efforts to delve into the future has collated some useful insights from respected industry experts about current issues and trends in the technology, media and consumer electronics sectors. In addition, it is interesting that a mainstream publication like Business 2.0 has joined the dozens of fan sites, blogs and underground web publishing industry that feeds on the rumour mill of what Apple will or won't do next.

It is a recognition that the company dismissed by many as irrelevant is now at the heart of the technology industry. Its about time that IT directors followed the lead of technology vendors, market analysts and the media in following Apple more closely and getting acquainted with its technology.

The next big thing will not come about by being taught on an MCSE syllabus.

BTW: have you remembered to put your clock forward one hour?
