* Yahoo! will buy Fastmail

* Netflix will win in the same sense YouTube won

* Amazon will launch an OS

* Jason Statham will make between three and five Jason Statham movies.

As regards Mr. Statham:

Motion picture timelines are pretty long, so I imagine you are correct. Of particularly high likelihood (according to imdb) are: Furious 7, Wildcard, and Spy (2015, 2015, and 2015 respectively). I'm curious to know how often new movies come out quickly or secretly -- in particular, if I made the more precise prediction "Jason Statham will be featured in exactly 3 movies released in 2015", how likely is it that I'll be wrong?

You forgot about Transporter XII.

Fastmail was once owned by Opera but bought itself to be independent again. I reckon they wouldn't be interested in being owned by another corporation, especially Yahoo.

We talked about this in the office a few weeks ago. The conclusion that we came to is that we're pretty happy with our current situation so any buyout would have to have a fairly enormous amount of cash attached :)
