Tesla’s Model 3 is debuting at $35,000. That is distinctly in the range of most “normal” people to obtain. It should be shipping sometime in 2017. I’d buy one.

Time to look back at last year’s tech predictions. I did this at the half-way point, so let’s see what has changed since then. {{AIX}} is still kickin’ {{HPUX}} hasn’t died yet 🙁 {{Solaris}} is still being clung-to by {{Oracle}} HP split in half – count this a win {{IBM}} has dropped from 162 to …
