    And those in rural areas of Ireland will get acceptable broadband speeds i.e more than 300k download speed.

    I’m lucky if I even get that. And I’m only about 10 miles from Cork City and am on a main road. Faster broadband would be a dream come true but I’m not gonna hold my breath…

    And latency. Horrible latency. Useless for SSH to my server in Iceland which already pings almost 1s from my ADSL.

    Don’t live in the country side and complain about broadband speeds! It’s like living on the moon and complaining about the weather! Want good broadband? Move to a city or large town!

    I’m putting all my money on the internal combustion engine finally breaking through to the big time this year. It’s been a while coming but I think it’s time.

    3d printing will also see interesting developments this year due to certain patents that are due to expire for methods other than the “stepstruder” style ones that are commonly seen.

    My tip would be for smart building/city applications such as http://www.EnergyElephant.com (nice little self plug ;0)

    You can increase your use of Irish and renewable energy by just checking when is best to turn on a washing machine, charge a laptop/iPad or have a low carbon cuppa! Think Irish, think green.
