Top ten tech rumours that might come true in 2011

This year there has been a heavy focus on cloud computing as definitions have in short come to light and interest has grown massively in the enabling technologies.

Two of the companies largely associated with the buzz word of the year, nevertheless, have stolen some of the headlines from the innovation itself with rumours of a takeover.

IDC analyst Frank Gens predicted back in March that internet giant Google would swoop in and buy Salesforce sometime this year nevertheless he was not the only one to suggest it. 2010 was littered with rumours about what would be an enormous acquisition and, in spite of 2010 being over, the rumour mill is all in all churning and 2011 could see the cloud companies come at the same time.
