By Rob Jones "TheMacJedi" | June 25, 2006

I really thought Sony was going to make up for their mistakes on the PS2 but apparently they were only getting started.

My prediction for the Xbox handheld

By Rob Jones "TheMacJedi" | June 23, 2006

Xbox Live Arcade will be one of it’s big selling points.
I believe that a handheld Xbox will incorporate the exact same XLA (Xbox Live Arcade) games that you can currently get through your 360. What’s cooler is that you will probably be able to browse and download demos directly to the handheld. These will be [...]

My Prediction for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

My main prediction for Leopard or Mac OS X 10.5 is that the operating system will include built-in virtualization.
