The Majestic Centre in Wellington.

Wellington's Majestic Centre

I was the last person to present predictions for 2009. In brief my predictions were:

  1. Apple will take 75% of the laptop market
  2. Compulsory Internet ‘driving’ licences will be introduced
  3. Parliament will be closed down after someone accuses the Minister of Communications of copyright breach (S92a of the Copyright Act)
  4. Famous (anonymous) Twitterer HolyGod will be revealed as a dog
  5. The eStat will be invented: a social networking gadget based around FaceBook and Twitter.

The winner’s tiara though went to Brenda Wallace. Congratulations, Brenda!
