6. Oil prices will continue to climb. (Another No Brainer)
Oil prices peaked over the summer to higest levels ever and then declined rapaidly to the lowest levels in years
7. China's economy will peak and will be forced to deal with pollution and other internal issues.
In 2008 China's economic growth did in fact slow down
8. Hillary Clinton will be elected the first woman president in U.S. history.
Obama defeated Hilary clinton in Democratic primaries
9 Indiana Jones 4 will be the biggest hit of 2008.
Indiana Jones 4 was the 3rd biggest box office hit for 2008,while The Dark Night earned top spot
10. Blueray will finally be declared the winner of the HD format war over HDDVD.
Blueray won. This one was actually over early in 2008.

So a dissapointing 4 of 10 correct predictions for 2008. But, if the Giants David Tyree doesnt make that incredible superbowl catch and Mario Chalmer misses that three against Memphis at the end of regulation, then I'm a much more impressive 6 of 10.
