<p>In fact, as I&#8217;m writing this post, I have already placed an order for one of these beauties and it should probably arrive next week.</p>
<p>I can hardly wait&#8230; I&#8217;m so excited to finally own and hold one of these beauties in my hands that I don&#8217;t know if I should pee or have a heart attack.</p>
<p>Maybe I should just do both at the same time.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Paul Reed Smith Modern Eagle II</span></p>
<p>The newly updated Modern Eagle II builds on the tradition of the Modern Eagle with premium grade wood, classic Modern Eagle frets and a Modern Eagle wide fat neck carve and adds to that an all new pickup system and updated finishing techniques.</p>
<p>The 1957/2008 pickups offered standard on the Modern Eagle II allow players to achieve both vintage and modern sounds. PRS obtained exclusive rights to the original pickup wire used in the most revered pickups in the 50’s. PRS obtained the rights to the wire in 2008, and 1957 was the year the humbucker was first commercially available, giving rise to the 1957/2008 name.</p>

<p>After finishing her phychology degree, this brainy brunette got bored with continually asking why, so she entered the world of modeling and got a gig on her first game show Uomini e Donne, hosted by Maria de Filippi. In 2006, she moved on to the show Buona Domenica and continues to work there alongside other Italian beauties like Elisabetta Gregoraci.</p>
<p>As with all girls, gossip means you are popular, so Sara knew she had made it in the Italian entertainment industry when there was much interest in her personal life after she started dating actress Sabrina Ferilli’s ex-husband, Andrea Perone.</p>
<p>Looking at her pictures, is it any wonder why she is one of the hottest women on the planet today?</p>

<p>Diora Baird (born April 6, 1983) is an American actress and former model for Guess? who has appeared in films such as Wedding Crashers (2005) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/diorabaird4.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-373 alignnone" title="diorabaird4" src="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/diorabaird4.jpg" alt="diorabaird4" width="550" height="731" /></a><br />
<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Early life</span></strong><br />
Baird was born in Miami, Miami-Dade County, Florida. Her mother was also a model. She got into acting when her mother enrolled her in an acting class to help her overcome introversion. Later, she became vice president of her school&#8217;s Thespian Society.</p>
<p>At the age of 17, she moved to Los Angeles in hope of pursuing an acting career. To earn money while auditioning she worked at The Gap as well as a clown at children&#8217;s parties, caterer, waitress and pre-school teacher until breaking in to the modeling industry, most notably with Guess?.</p>
<p>Her exposure increased considerably with an appearance on the cover of the August 2005 issue of Playboy magazine. She is signed to Elite Model Management in Miami.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/diora-baird-fhm-france-05.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-374 alignnone" title="diora-baird-fhm-france-05" src="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/diora-baird-fhm-france-05.jpg" alt="diora-baird-fhm-france-05" width="550" height="755" /></a></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Career</strong></span><br />
In 2004, Baird also started earning acting roles, such as a guest appearance on the Drew Carey Show and in the low-budget film Brain Blockers. Her breakthrough appearance in a major film was in Wedding Crashers in 2005, which she followed up with roles in Accepted and Hot Tamale. In 2006, she appeared in four films, most notably a major role in the horror prequel The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning.</p>
<p>Baird had featured photo spreads in several magazines including Playboy, FHM, Stuff, Maxim (in which she was ranked #76 on the Maxim magazine Hot 100 of 2007 list and #64 on the Maxim magazine Hot 100 of 2008 list), Toro and Esquire (UK). She lent her voice to the Scarface video game as one of Tony Montana&#8217;s possible girlfriends.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/diorabaird1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-375 alignnone" title="diorabaird1" src="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/diorabaird1.jpg" alt="diorabaird1" width="550" height="928" /></a></p>
<p>Baird guest-starred in episodes of Big Day where her character was known for her large breasts, The Drew Carey Show, Shark, The Loop and Two and a Half Men episode &#8220;She&#8217;ll Still Be Dead At Halftime&#8221; (2009).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/diora_baird2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-376  aligncenter" title="diora_baird2" src="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/diora_baird2.jpg" alt="diora_baird2" width="390" height="480" /></a><a href="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/diora_baird4.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-377 alignnone" title="diora_baird4" src="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/diora_baird4.jpg" alt="diora_baird4" width="500" height="480" /></a></p>
<p>Whatever it is, Diora Baird&#8217;s 32DD natural breasts are one of the best I have ever seen.  Definitely one of the best breasts in Hollywood.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">The S5 is powered by a 354-horsepower, 4.2-liter V-8 engine that spins out a peak 325 pound-feet of torque. Rear-biased Quattro all-wheel drive helps the wheels get traction no matter what the surface, and helps neutralize handling in spirited driving. With either transmission—six-speed manual or automatic, both a joy to drive—the Audi S5 gets to 60 mph in a mere 4.9 seconds and tops out at 155 mph. It&#8217;s the only car in its class to offer all-wheel drive with a manual transmission.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/audi-s5.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-343 alignnone" title="audi s5" src="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/audi-s5.jpg" alt="audi s5" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The optional Drive Select package enables drivers to tune suspension and steering response. The S5 has brilliant handling, with some occasionally harsh ride motions when you run into—well, run over—rough surfaces in mid-corner. Even with electronic power steering, it turns in flat and responds in a snap, though the feel is a little light. The 2009 S5&#8217;s braking is stellar.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/audi-s5-2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-344 alignnone" title="audi s5 2" src="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/audi-s5-2.jpg" alt="audi s5 2" width="500" height="374" /></a><a href="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/2008-Audi-S5-Dashboard-1280x960.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-347 alignnone" title="S5070014" src="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/2008-Audi-S5-Dashboard-1280x960.jpg" alt="S5070014" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The cockpit of the Audi S5 sports a tight feel, paired with a rather complex, busy array of controls on the dash. Audio system control buttons are numerous; the designers have opted for lots of shiny aluminum and chrome trim, so it&#8217;s not a restful place to meditate. The front seats cradle you in comfort, but the rear seats are merely tight and totally unable to accommodate adult legs. Thanks to the thick pillars and low roofline, visibility out the back while driving is pretty dismal. On the plus side, the trunk is large.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/audi-s5-interior.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-348 alignnone" title="audi s5 interior" src="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/audi-s5-interior.jpg" alt="audi s5 interior" width="500" height="324" /></a></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">
The 2009 Audi S8 doesn’t give up any conveniences in the name of high performance; expect everything that you would in a full-fledged luxury coupe, including power and heated everything, along with features like adaptive headlamps. Audiophiles will be very fond of the available Bang &amp; Olufsen sound system.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a detailed and super review of the 2008 Honda CB1000R Hornet taken from <a title="2008 Honda CB1000R Hornet Review" href="http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page.aspx?ArticleID=6353&amp;Page=1" target="_blank">Motorcycle USA</a> written by Marc Potter:</p>
<blockquote><p>Way back in the &#8217;60s, when men had quiffs and woman wore beehives, the Japanese bike manufacturers invaded Europe. Their bikes looked strangely like the ones made in the midlands but they had funny winged logos on the tanks. And they worked come rain or shine.</p>
<p>The copycats were laughed off at first and then makes like Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha and Suzuki started landing on our shores in big numbers, at the right price, with the right kit (like electric starters that worked) and engines that didn&#8217;t leak. And they took over the world of motorcycling forever.</p>
<p>It stayed that way for the last 40 years until a small manufacturer in Hinckley started making a bike called the Speed Triple and essentially created the Super Naked bike. Having been the first person in the world to ride the prototype, I remember that moment well. Okay, so the Ducati Monster was the original but that didn&#8217;t have the same sort of sports bike horsepower linked with quality suspension and brakes, and the kind of style reminiscent of a crashed GSX-R1100 with bug-eye headlamps.</p>
<p>And now the tables have turned again, as the world&#8217;s biggest bike manufacturer looks down from its ivory tower to a small industrial unit in Leicestershire and decides it&#8217;s very interested in a bike called the Speed Triple. Combine it with a healthy respect for bikes like the MV Agusta Brutale and the Monster and you&#8217;re starting to get the measure of Honda&#8217;s new CB1000R.</p>
<p>Big H won&#8217;t admit their influences but an off the record chat with a few people confirmed what I just said, and it&#8217;s not going on sale in Japan because the emissions laws are so strict it would have to have an exhaust the size of a small car. This bike is for Europe only and that&#8217;s where most of the design work and development was done.</p>
<p>Forget the fact it has the same name as the dinosaur CB1000 of the early nineties, or that it&#8217;s a spine-framed, FireBlade-engined naked like the now defunct 900 Hornet. This is a whole new bag for Honda. A bike designed with Europe in mind and one that uses a retuned version of the 2007 FireBlade CBR1000RR engine and runs 2008 FireBlade forks, 2008 FireBlade brakes, a beautiful single-sided swingarm and styling tailored to the decor of the very best designer cafes in Milan. In green it looks purposeful, in white it looks as good as anything on the road.</p>
<p>And then there&#8217;s the bike&#8217;s heritage. It was developed by Tetsuya Kudoh, the man who was chief engineer and test rider on such bikes as the VFR400, RC30, NR750, CBR600F and VFR750F, so nothing much good in there then. And as such it&#8217;s one high-spec piece of kit. The single-sided swingarm is one of the things that gives away the fact this isn&#8217;t your average fat and lazy naked bike.</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s the short stubby attitude of the CB100R: the tiny seat unit designed as a token gesture to attract nubile Italian goddess&#8217; who may want to perch on your steed, so to speak. (But in reality no real human would want to sit on the back and you&#8217;d never get a tail pack on it, but Honda designed it that way.) It&#8217;s all about being purposeful, minimal, and saying to everyone watching that you&#8217;re a no compromise kind of guy who likes to ride fast and look good. The CB1000R weighs in wet at 217 kg (478 lbs), which is just 18 kg (40 lbs) more than the super lightweight 2008 Blade and most of that extra weight is in the heavily braced single-sided swingarm.</p>
<p>Check out the swoopy four-spoke rear wheel, the LCD clocks that are claimed to be the most expensive Honda make, the jagged lines of the bodywork and the aggressive &#8216;ready-to-attack&#8217; stance, and you can tell this is no normal Japanese naked bike. It&#8217;s designed to give a sporty ride with the stylish looks of a naked, and it more than delivers.</p>
<p>Undoubtedly it&#8217;s a serious bit of kit that aims to do a totally different job to the old Hornet 900, and it&#8217;s a bike that I&#8217;m slightly afraid of riding when I get handed the keys in the center of Milan on a wet and slippery Saturday morning.</p>
<p>But fearful is not one of the things that enters your head when you start riding the tiny Honda. Filtering through Milan in convoy behind a mad Welshman intent on showing us his knowledge of Milan&#8217;s backstreets, the bike is gentle, easy and torquey. The fuelling is perfect, the grunt is huge and I&#8217;m already starting to think that for most people, most of the time this engine would be better in a FireBlade than the super-powerful motor de rigeur of bikes that say you&#8217;re a real man, even if secretly the amount of horsepower terrifies you. Or is that just me?</p>
<p>130 hp is plenty but it&#8217;s more about the torque and the way the power is delivered that impresses. It comes on clean and fat to the point where sixth gear will pull 30 mph with no shakes from the transmission, no rattles, just clean drive. Try that on a FZ1 Fazer and you&#8217;ll be reaching for an asthma inhaler to spray down its air intakes. Hit 8000 rpm and there&#8217;s no noticeable switch in delivery but by then it&#8217;s pulling strongest and doesn&#8217;t ease off till 10,000 rpm. Compared to the 2007 Blade, the CB uses a different cylinder head (made of magnesium), different inlet and outlet ports, a different ECU and compression ratio. As an engine it&#8217;s one of the finest in any production bike and hits way harder than you expect.</p>
<p>As we cut through the Milan traffic towards the twisty roads near Lake Como I realise I never actually checked whether or not I was riding the bike with combined brakes and ABS or the standard FireBlade braking system. As we pull up to the next lights, I grab a handful of front and lock the front tire I realise it&#8217;s the standard bike. The CBS/ABS model puts an extra £500 on the price. But as standard the brakes don&#8217;t feel super sharp like on the Blade, that&#8217;s because the master cylinder and brake lines are changed to soften it up a little. If it had exactly the same kit as the Blade you&#8217;d be a world stunt champion or lying in the road with the bike on top of you.</p>
<p>We head out of town and the CB1000R comes into its own as the road sweeps into fast dual-carriageway corners and you can feel how agile it is when cutting through traffic. It steers quickly yet the team behind the bike have managed to make it stable at motorway speeds, quite a feat when you consider how quickly it turns into a corner. Sit at 80 mph and the Honda is surprisingly comfortable. You feel close to the headstock of the bike yet deep enough in the seat to not feel the full force of the wind.</p>
<p>The pace slows through yet more industrial towns on the outside of Milan and we slide our way through roundabouts, dial in the smooth torque and power out the other side. Short shift and you almost forget the clutch as the gearbox is so light and precise on every shift, feeling like a well set-up racebike shift rather than your standard roadbike fare.</p>
<p>When the road opens up the CB1000R really comes into its own and it&#8217;s here where it needs to live. The big Honda is so easy to ride fast that you really don&#8217;t have to think about what gear and when to get on the throttle. It seems to let you get away with riding the road and not thinking about the bike -- if there are any faults with the bike that&#8217;s one of them.</p>
<p>The motor is amazing but it doesn&#8217;t howl or really get you excited. It has the looks of something really aggressive but it never really wants to kick off. If it were in a fight the CB1000R would be the good-looking one talking his way out of it, but knowing secretly that it could handle itself should it need to. In comparison to the Speed Triple it&#8217;s not quite as raw, not quite as bolshie and looks a little softer. But that makes it easier to ride than all its rivals. Kawasaki&#8217;s Z1000 is heavier, less torquey and doesn&#8217;t handle as well. Yamaha&#8217;s FZ1 has most of its power at the top and lacks bottom end, that makes it hard to ride on the roads where it wants to be ridden and it&#8217;s hard to wheelie.</p>
<p>The Honda on the other hand leaps out of corners piling all of its torque to the ground and is round the rev-counter before you know it. Shift at 10,000 rpm and it feels like the perfect blend of power and torque for the road. The suspension is softer than the Triumph but, for me, give the perfect blend of feel and comfort. I don&#8217;t want a bike that&#8217;s rock hard, just one that lets me know what the wheels are doing and one that doesn&#8217;t pitch around under power or braking. The Honda gets it bang on.</p>
<p>The only thing the CB100R lacks is a bit of soul and a bit of the noise that you get from the Brutale and the Speed Triple. But for ninety nine percent of the time it&#8217;s a better bike in every respect.</p>
<p>Unfortunately I never got to ride the CB1000R in true dry conditions where you can really sling it around. For that you&#8217;ll have to wait for our group test in about two week&#8217;s time. But in the real world, where cops are hiding in trailers with speed guns, the roads get ever busier and the surface isn&#8217;t racetrack smooth Honda has made a brilliant unfaired bike.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Bike Asia 2008 &#8211; International Bicycle &amp; Motorcycle Exhibition </span></h3>
<p>Okay&#8230; So I decided to pop by at the Singapore Expo to have a look at Bike Asia 2008 &#8211; touted to be a regional trade show and the first international exhibition on bicycles, motorcycles and their respective accessories held in South East Asia. It even listed EICMA as a co-organiser. EICMA being the organisation behind the largest International Bicycles and Motorcycles show in Milan, Italy.</p>
<p>So with that introduction (found on Bike Asia&#8217;s website), I was expecting to be blown away by all the biggest names in the motorcycle industry, clamouring for a booth or spot in this huge event.</p>
<p>Boy, can I be more wrong. And disappointed. I was a little worried when I drove up to the Singapore Expo and got a parking space right outside the exhibition hall. If this were an IT exhibition, parking lots would have been in short supply and I would have been parked illegally about 500 metres away.</p>
<p>What the hell happened guys? The exhibition felt cold and empty and there were many empty booths littered throughout the hall. Big names were starkly missing from the lineup&#8230; I didn&#8217;t see Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Harley Davidson&#8230;etc. Isn&#8217;t this supposed to be an international event?</p>
<p>Instead,  there were a smattering of Vespas, a few Ducatis, Moto Guzzis and MV Agustas thrown about&#8230; These are all beautiful and well known motorcycles mind you (the limited edition MV Agusta Wally Brutale 989RR &#8220;118&#8243; just made me drool&#8230;) but come on, what about the rest of the big boys?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hokay boys and girls&#8230;</p>
<p>This is another beauty of a guitar -- the Ibanez RG550 20th Anniversary Reissue.</p>
<p>As usual, I am biased and will first showcase the colour of the guitar that I actually own myself&#8230; <img src='http://www.33rebels.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img src="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/rg550-black-web.gif" alt="Ibanez RG550 20th Anniversary Reissue Guitar" /></p>
<p>In 1987, rockers, heavy metal freaks and speed demons blasted the Ibanez RG550 into iconic status. With its super flat and super fast necks, double locking trems and superb pick ups, this guitar reached legendary status in a jiffy.</p>
<p>Now 20 years later in 2007, Ibanez released a very limited run of these beauties -- full remakes of the original RG550s. This guitar is completely accurate down to the tremolo although the neck has been improved on -- the original Wizard neck used to crack and warp so the reissues are given the Wizard Prestige neck which uses strengthening layers embedded into the neck.</p>
<p>There are only 1987 of these Ibanez RG550 20th Anniversary Reissues which has caused the original RG550s to jump heck of a lot in value. And with only a limited quantity of these babies reissued, these will surely be collector&#8217;s items as well&#8230;</p>
<p>These guitars come in ultra cool colours : Desert Yellow, Road Flare Red and of course, Black.</p>
<p>Since you have already seen the black up there, here are the other 2 colours:</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Desert Yellow:</span></p>
<p><img src="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/rg550-yellow-web.gif" alt="Ibanez RG550 20th Anniversary Reissue Guitar Yellow" /></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Road Flare Red:</span></p>
<p><img src="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/rg550-red-web.gif" alt="Ibanez RG550 20th Anniversary Reissue Guitar Red" /></p>
<p>What makes it even cooler is that these guitars come in their own matching hard cases. Take for example, the gorgeous Desert Yellow Ibanez RG550 20th Anniversary shown here:</p>

<p>And that&#8217;s not all folks, Ibanez has kindly packed matching RG 20th Anniversary guitar straps and picks into the whole package as well&#8230; Can everyone say Yowza!</p>
<p>Have a look at what the experts had to say about this guitar:</p>
<p><em>(Taken from <a title="Reviews of Ibanez RG550 20th Anniversary Reissue at Musician's Friend" href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ibanez-RG550-20th-Anniversary-Electric-Guitar?sku=512645" target="_blank">Musician&#8217;s Friend</a>)</em></p>
<blockquote>
<p id="qf_prod_copy">The Ibanez RG550 20th Anniversary guitar features a slim, fast Wizard neck and a maple fretboard with 24 jumbo frets for easy leads and chording. The lightweight basswood body has a sculpted upper edge for comfort. The bridge is the original Edge tremolo with die-cast saddles. Pickups include Vintage 7 and 8 humbuckers framing a high-output single coil. 5-way switching provides a full range of instantly selectable sounds. The neck attaches with the original Tilt Plate joint.</p>
<p>Since 1987, the Ibanez RG has been the weapon of choice for visiting sonic mayhem on the metal masses. With the right choice of pickups, flat and fast necks and double-locking trems, the RG has divebombed and crunched its way to classic status. This 20th anniversary edition is extremely faithful to the RG550 that started it all, born out of Ibanez&#8217;s quest for originality in the world of electric guitars and the requests of artists who play heavy rock and metal.</p>
<p>20 years later, the RG is still one of the most highly sought after guitars for artists wanting pickups and pickup placement providing the hard-edged cutting tone needed for heavy rock, the fast necks needed for face-melting solos, drop-dead good looks and top-shelf electronics and hardware.</p>
<p>The 20th Anniversary RG550 is sure to become a collector&#8217;s item, and you can make it yours for less than you might expect. Ibanez sweetens the deal by including a special RG20th hard shell case, special strap and pick in colors matching the RG550 you choose.</p>

This was one of Stevie Ray Vaughan&#8217;s favourite guitars and one which he had with him wherever he went. And with good reason too&#8230; This guitar was a present given to him by his wife Lenora &#8220;Lenny&#8221; Vaughan on his 26th birthday, when he wasn&#8217;t a superstar yet.</p>
<p><em>(Pictures taken from <a title="Official Fender Website" href="http://www.fender.com/lenny/" target="_blank">Fender</a>) </em></p>
<p><img src="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/fender-lenny-strat-w-case.gif" alt="Stevie Ray Vaughan Fender Lenny Strat with Case" /></p>
<p>Stevie spied upon the used Fender Stratocaster in a Texas pawnshop and immediately fell in love with it. Unfortunately, during those early years of pre-mega stardom, did not have the means to buy it. It cost $350.</p>
<p>The guitar was a 1965 maple neck Fender Stratocaster with a rosewood fingerboard that still had the original pick ups on it. Although it used to be a 3-colour sunburst, it was obvious it hadn&#8217;t been refinished expertly at some point and it now had a dark natural finish bearing an elaborately arty inlay behind the bridge.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.33rebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/fender-lenny-strat-bridge-inlay.gif" alt="Stevie Ray Vaughan Fender Lenny Strat Bridge Inlay" /></p>
<p>Lenora devised a plan to get that guitar for him. She went out to find 7 people with $50 so that they could pool their money together. They presented the guitar to Stevie and he was absolutely thrilled. When he took the guitar home that night, he wrote a song for her while she slept and played it to her the next morning. &#8220;Lenny&#8221; was thus born.</p>

<p>Now, in a historic collaboration among Fender Guitar Centre and the Stevie Ray Vaughan estate, the famous Stevie Ray Vaughan &#8220;Lenny&#8221; Stratocaster guitar has been commissioned by Guitar Centre for reproduction as a limited edition by the Fender Custom Shop.

<p>Well, sorry, don&#8217;t have &#8216;em, what do you think I am, psychic?</p>
<p>Anyway, what I have are the world&#8217;s worst predictions ever.  What were they thinking? Well, I guess it&#8217;s not their fault, no one knew what the future would have brought then&#8230; Ahh, the power of hindsight, so easy to point our stubby little fingers now and go, &#8220;What the&#8230; <strong>Were you crazy??</strong>&#8221;</p>
<p>Here they are, the world&#8217;s worst predictions :<br />
(Source: <a title="That's Weird - World's Worst Predictions" href="http://www.thatsweird.net/facts13.shtml" target="_blank">www.thatsweird.net</a>)</p>
<blockquote><p>Theoretically,television may be feasible, but I consider it an impossibility &#8211; a development which we should waste little time dreaming about.&#8221; &#8211; <em>Lee de Forest, 1926, inventor of the cathode ray tube</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.&#8221; &#8211; <em>Thomas J. Watson, 1943, Chairman of the Board of IBM</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>It doesn&#8217;t matter what he does, he will never amount to anything.&#8221; &#8211; <em>Albert Einstein&#8217;s teacher to his father, 1895</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>It will be years &#8211; not in my time &#8211; before a woman will become Prime Minister.&#8221; &#8211; <em>Margaret Thatcher, 1974</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>This &#8216;telephone&#8217; has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us.&#8221; &#8211; <em>Western Union internal memo, 1876</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>We don&#8217;t like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out.&#8221; &#8211; <em>Decca Recording Co. rejecting the Beatles, 1962</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?&#8221; &#8211; <em>H. M. Warner, Warner Brothers, 1927</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>640K ought to be enough for anybody.&#8221; &#8211; <em>Bill Gates, 1981</em></p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>Stocks have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau.&#8221; &#8211; <em>Irving Fisher, Professor of Economics, Yale University, October 16, 1929.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>And some other interesting snippets of famously wrong predictions:</p>
<ul>
<li> An official of the White Star Line, speaking of the firm&#8217;s newly built flagship, the Titanic, launched in 1912, declared that the ship was unsinkable.</li>
</ul>
<ul>

</ul>
<ul>

</ul>
<p>And to finish off this post, I hope to see this come out in someone&#8217;s famously wrong predictions of all time list in the near future :</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>The 33 Rebels website? Nah, nothing will come out of it. 33 Rebels making millions? Pfft, yeah right&#8230; Who the hell wants to read this crap anyway&#8230;&#8221;</strong> <strong><em>- Anonymous</em></strong></p></blockquote>
