Please don’t email me prayers or jokes with hundreds of people CC’ed. There is a very high likelihood I would delete them without even opening it.

I’m serious. You wonder how you get spammed so much its because you forward very free iPod giveaway email to all our buddies and get them in the spam ring as well.

Think about it. When was the last time anyone you know really got a free iPod?

Here is my list for 2010, its always good to have a list.

  • MongoDB sounds promising
  • The mobile web/app space.
  • Android will kill the iPhone star
  • Yet Apple will keep making products we want to buy
  • Virtual private servers and cloud services
  • Ruby on Rails is too significant to ignore for PHP/Java folks
  • Linux will not take over the desktop market
  • Mac will continue to grow into the desktop market. With a pretty enough GUI and a Unix like back-end I’m not missing Linux
  • Linux will continue to grow in phones, TV’s, media players and everywhere else
  • Content aggregation, filtering and personalization
  • Sri Lanka as usual will be like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get.

That’s it for now. Got any more?
