Poll: What will happen first?

It's time to peer into our crystal balls and predict the future. There are a number of things in the tech industry that should—or at least could—happen before the year ends. Hard drive prices are on track to return to pre-flooding levels eventually, TSMC is working to resolve 28-nm GPU supply issues, Nvidia's compute-focused Big Kepler GPU is ready for duty in a GeForce graphics card, Ivy Bridge promises $600 ultrabooks, and AMD has an ultraportable answer in the form of its 17W Trinity APU. Windows 8 is coming out, too, and there's a chance enthusiasts might embrace the final product.
