Top 10 Snarky Apple Predictions for 2010

Well, it’s a new year, a new decade (according to some), and that means it’s time for the pointless predictions about what’s going to happen this year! Being a cranky Apple fan as I am, I present my list of Apple predictions for 2010.

1. Apple will reveal a new award-winning ad campaign…Microsoft will copy it and embarrass themselves.
2. Phil Schiller will have more face-time during keynote presentations than we want him to.
3. Apple will reveal at least one new product that no one is expecting and that changes the world
4. Apple will reveal at least one new product that no one is expecting and that confuses everyone and is quietly ignored or removed before the year is over.
5. Apple will update various product lines in ways that make them harder to mod. The Mac Moders will mod them anyway.
6. The Wall Street analysts will be wrong about Apple sales estimates and earnings.
7. Apple will wait until a lawsuit hits class action status to issue a product recall.
8. Kevin Rose will make press with an Apple rumor, and we’ll find out later that he was completely wrong.
9. Apple will charge iPod Touch owners money for something iPhone owners get for free and claim that ‘the accountants made us do it’.
10. Steve-Jobs will non-ironically use the term “greenest” in a keynote.

Come to think of it, I can probably recycle this same exact list next year as well
