My predictions for Macworld, 2006:

  1. 11-foot Cinema Displays. They'll release them with ropes so you can tie them to your car to get them home. You'll need to buy a new Nvidia graphics card to power them and it will cost fifty thousand dollars. The displays won't be priced—you'll have to fight a boar to get one.

  2. Intel iBooks and Mac minis. But, unfortunately, they'll be Pentium IIs. The chip will stick out vertically through the middle of the iBook keyboard and the Mac mini will be as big as the G5. They'll still call it a mini.

  3. There will be thirteen new iPod models released in the first four minutes of the keynote.

  4. iLife '06 and iWork '06 will be extremely minor updates that cost five hundred dollars each. iTunes' version number will jump to 13.5.

  5. All products will be announced as "available today," but won't ship for five months.

See you in the winner's circle!

Update: Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, and, well, probably wrong but closer to right than the others. I win (lose)!
