In the wacky Change-O-Rama that is the technology industry, what’s not changing is in some ways more interesting than what is.
Moore’s Law – no end in sight. The reason 2020 phones will be more powerful than today’s PCs.
Kryder’s Law – the disk drive “Moore’s Law” that drives storage capacity growth. No end in sight.

Google will rely on internet-based storage almost entirely for Google Chrome, their OS for netbooks.

Robert Scoble broadcast live from the BlogHaus last night on mogulus, answering questions. He thinks HD and Autos will be where the energy is at CES this year. In particular, BuRay will come on strong.
Don’t expect Google to be active this year, he says, although they may be in the back rooms working on Android.
