And while I'm on the subject ... sometime in the next few months, the wallet of some major site will be hacked and a bunch of people are going to lose all of there bitcoins. You heard it here first.

Sounds like complete FUD to me.

Eh, not FUD exactly.  It's more like a "prediction" of something that based on the historical evidence is already fairly likely to happen.  Bitcoin has a pretty big history of major site XYZ screwing something up and getting "hacked" every few months due to that site's own inadequate security or poor software design.
