I was disappointed at first to see that the predictions for 2010 from (google.com) were actually some guy's sites.google.com site with "funny" fake predictions. I decided to humor the guy and I wasn't completely disappointed. #3 made me laugh.
I personally thought these were hilarious (esp #1).
You bring up a good (if slightly offtopic) point. There should be something to differentiate sites.google.com pages from those officially published by Google. Just add the "sites." so we know the difference.
"8. The TARP bailout is extended to Microsoft after it's discovered that the entire banking industry is held together with Visual Basic 6 and Excel macros."
He's posted several of his own articles before and acknowledged them as such (which is the only reason I know it's his!). I just wanted to make sure he gets proper credit.
18. Anthropologists find genetic and archeological evidence that ancestral man once flew between the stars and listened to Lenny Kravitz. A huge post-hoc revision in a popular sci-fi series replaces "All along the watchtower" with "Are you gonna go my way?" and comes out better for some weird reason.
The (google.com) ending is a little misleading since it's just someone's hosted site on sites.google.com. It's not google's opinion, but it would be a lot funnier if it was.
"Somebody then does the obvious and ... gets one bunch of monkeys to write code and uses the second bunch to test it. A reasonably good clone of Windows 7 is banged out over 8 months with a budget of about $4,000" My favourite line.

This is truer than anyone here would like to admit...
That second part is eerily accurate.
For what it's worth, the author of this is clawrencewenham on HN, a consistent source of good content.

(It's true. More than a decade after the @#%$ that was Windows '95 beat us and I still can't let it go)
I'm not quite sure what he's driving at here...
