14 DAY TRIAL // Take one look into the future of computing, see where it can go in the next couple of years, or maybe even in a decade or two. It's a hard thing to predict, the future that is, I believe that people that actually have the ability to foresee events that are going to take place in a large enough industry such as the computer industry have more on their side than just a lot of information.
I've learned that if you could calculate the exact position of every subspace particle in the universe, or in one part of it, to narrow the search radius, you could be able to predict what the future will be through the advanced calculations of the positioning of the particles mentioned before, you'll be able to determine where they are and where they are headed. Taking into account that the more you try to determine the actual speed of a subatomic particle, the further away from its position in space you are, it's a matter of calculating probabilities, that's what it goes down to.
In the work that we do every day, it's hard to know for sure what's going to happen tomorrow, even more so, a week from now and so on. So considering Intel's downfall from 2006, this is one of those things that no one could predict, because it sure would have saved them a lot of problems, that's for sure.
Dale Ford, vice president, market intelligence, for iSuppli said that: "For U.S. microprocessor giant Intel, 2006 was the worst of times, as its global semiconductor revenue dropped by 11.1 percent from 2005. The revenue decline, which was due to Intel's bleak performance in its core PC microprocessor and flash-memory businesses, erased nearly all of the company's sales gains from its strong year in 2005. Intel's 2006 revenue of $31.5 billion was less than half a percentage point higher than its sales in 2004."
