Am i reading it wrong? or is this an old article..its speaking of predictions of remaining flat for 2010 and forecasting overall growth for 2011, the year we are almost done with..

I think you mean "flat over 2012".

Umm.. Flat over 2012 but 2011 is down from 2011? Am I tripping out?

They're revising the 2011 forecasted annual growth down to 1.2% over 2010 instead of previous 2.9% estimate due to the economic downturn.

I truly can't believe the lack of quality publishing at Toms, such a shame. If there is a content reviewer they should be fired Donald Trump style!

I've been a Toms follower since it's birth and the quality has gone to poo with it's content and it's over use of in your face advertising. But like most companies, the owners only give a damn about themselves putting greed for money as priority number one. I'm guessing the associates putting the content on here are low wage or even interns working for nothing....

Who the hell wrote this turd?

The article means the revenue in 2011 is going to be nearly the same as 2010...

Tomshardware editors are on the Meth again... Sigh!

The flat over 2010 refers to the increase over 2010 levels.

Perhaps one should try reading the article with care and analytical mind.
