Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[Koikaze]

Can you imagine my anxiety when I read the following in eWeek, the esteemed journal of unmitigated hype?

"National Semiconductor CEO Brian Halla gave the Vegas confab a good deal to talk about as he pinpointed the day the tech industry will turn around: June 21, 2003. During his keynote speech, Halla claimed his isn't just a random guess but rather the finding of a scientific prediction by a Stanford University professor using complex mathematical equations based on past economic cycles."

I admit to being slow-witted. It took me a moment to realize it was a joke.

Imagine!

A forecast that doesn't recognize the Turnips Terrible 2's.

If those complex mathematical equations had forecast the turn on June 22, 2003 I might have wondered. But the 21st!

Never!
