On 3D printing. Once the politicians realize what it is capable of, they will rise-up in full theatrics displaying all sorts of anguish demanding that 3D printers be outlawed to "protect" the populous from that out-of-control nefarious technology.

At first, 3D printing may not be overtly criminalized, but expect retail versions, in the near future, to be disabled so that things considered "dangerous" can't be manufactured. In order to buy a 3D printer, one may even be required to buy a government license (registration).

3D printing will become more advantageous and will be developed to finer resolution points.

Tumbler will be sold in 2016 and will collapse in 2017.

Someone will say again that the Linux desktop is dead, but nothing will really change, if not a slight increase of Linux OS downloads.
