End of the age of Pisces! Bring on the water-bearer!.... Or the destruction of the earth, either will work.. And if I magically survive that, please let there be alcohol still, and atleast one porn websites server still alive.

Realistically, AC:III and less lawsuits/religious nutjob groups coming out of the woodwork. Bring on the rapture and get them out of here already, so the rest of us can live in peace. Two birds, one stone ;).

A general method for teleporting common small molecules (H2O, etc)

A video game console with at least 6GB of memory

A real alternative to Intel CPUs

An extension of the blue line of Montreal's metro (so it goes where I live)

Certainly nothing of that will happen. :pinch:

New President, especially one that does not hate on businesses

Less freeloaders looking for the government ###### to suck on

  • A democratic government in Libya
  • A democratic government in Egypt
  • The downfall of all the last dictators
  • The capturing and/or killing of every Al-Qaeda member and anyone associated with them (Al-Qaeda)
  • A better year for the new Danish government, which was elected a few months ago but are not doing that well
  • A new Foreign Affairs minister in DK
  • The release of Windows 8
  • Tech prices to be lowered
  • Gas prices to be lowered, while highly unlikely

That's pretty much it I think :) Not all of these are possible, but this is what I wish for 2012.

    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
