Taking a look at the site listing for Robert Scoble’s prediction: “Three things will join in 2005: cell phones. Hard drives. Skype.” A couple suggestions:
Since you can now put Skype on the iphone http://www.skype.com/download/skype/iphone/, his trifecta is complete. He was only wrong by the date. There should be some indication of why the prediction is wrong, which parts are wrong and just how wrong it is.
Roble’s commented on this set of predictions, at the time, as being ”...a bit tongue-in-cheek.” (see http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/2004/12/23.html#a8987). So there ought to be some indication of just how serious the prediction is. Otherwise, we can post something like Conan O’Brien’s year 2000 predictions and there would be no indication that it was meant as a joke.
At the very least I’d like to see some kind of annotation.
