Random: Dumbest predictions on Apple

Wired has a story today on the �The 15 Dumbest Apple Predictions Of All Time�.

Side note: of interest to me was this one:

Sony To Buy Apple
"Within the next two months, Sony will acquire Apple. ... Sony will be the white knight who will step into the picture." � former Apple VP Gaston Bastiaens, in January 1996.

I was working for Gaston at that time and remember him saying something to this effect. I treated his belief with a mixture of respect (given Gaston�s background) and some disbelief (�why the heck would Sony buy Apple?�). Whatever.
