Tempus

US politicians are way too conservative to touch this even with the proverbial pole. I can see a general bailout where the adult industry could profit, but nothing specifically for them.

According to some news, they stopped today. This prediction should probably be closed and wait for confirmation of current events.

What the heck is "social shopping" ?

How can it "take off" when barely anyone knows what it is? :-)

If there ever was a safe prediction, this is it - if it does happen, there'll be no one left to score it. :-)

It was released on July 11, 2008. That would be Q3.

I live in Germany. It would have been on the news. Nothing happened.

Did not happen, no silverlight on the iPhone.

Never seen a video or banner ad on Google, and I use it daily.

According to Amazon.com:

The rating is still M (mature)

Not heard of a single example.

He's still listed as CEO on the official Apple site:

Nothing on the news that indicates anything one could classify even remotely as a revolution, and he's still in office.

Why should they? Last I checked, absolutely nobody I know over here cares for the Zune *at* *all*. Most reviews I've seen in european magazines ridiculed it. Most importantly: It failed in the easier market (US), you would have to be insane to launch it in the more difficult (for MS) market in Europe.

Contrary to what Arthur thinks, I believe the deal will go through because the money is desperately needed. There will be behind-the-scene deals to offset China's anger.

Missing options:
* I don't run windows
* I'll switch to a non-windows OS instead

That would've been interesting. I think I'll make a poll on that.

It depends, need more info: Which way do the crooks make more money? Please don't think they're worrying about solving the crisis, there's this famous quote from a top investment banker who says "you've got to buy when there's blood in the streets". As someone who's gambling with other people's money, right now there are lots and lots of opportunities.

Remember that the stock-exchange is a zero-sum game: Money does not disappear, it just moves somewhere else.

Missing option: Not interested in either (e.g. "already own a Wii")

Sorry, I'd like to contest the judgement. As the link by Homer shows, it was above $2 before the end of September - e.g. on Sep. 29. and on Sep. 26.

It fell again, but it did go above $2.

Absolutely not. Steve is a smart guy who knows where his place is and what his strengths are. Besides, Apple already has a very successful marketing campaign with the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" couple.

Absolutely. Shareholders were panicked for a while, now they've seen the taxpayer bails them out, so there's no reason to sell anymore.
