Top 5 Technology Predictions For 2010

I'd do "Top 10 Predictions" but it looks like they didn't, and, jeez, 10 things is a lot.
1. Facebook buys MySpace for $10.99 and a bag of really choice weed. They then rename the service "MyFace" and market it as the premier place to share animated gifs with bands you've never heard of.
2. Cloud computing takes off, forcing by law that all citizens host servers in their homes to keep our health records and kickass anime collection distributed.
3. Larry Ellison, sick of being out of the limelight so long, looses his shit, executes a hostile takeover of Scientology and runs a new country based on the cult from his yacht. He and Steve Jobs are seen fighting on a mountain somewhere with lightning in the background.
4. A large security hole in WordPress exploitable by bots replaces content in millions of blogs with Evony ads.
5. To foster the idea of greater privacy over the web, Google introduces GoogleMom, which automatically forwards all your embarrassing tweets/facebook/emails to your mother in an effort to shame you into shutting up.
