I also thought Huff Po was not going to work, certainly not as well as it did. I thought Odeo was a sure thing. And Engadget...I had no idea there was room on the web for two Gizmodos.

Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Sony had a terrible track record of format wars, so I figured they'd managed to lose again. Whoops. At least I haven't bought any hi-def movies or players yet.

I gotta go with the video iPod. Not that I thought it would fail - I just didn't think it would be that big a deal. (One of the only LR debates ever was on this topic.) Then iTMS goes and sells video for it, and it's a hit. Damn Bergman was right.
