Assif Shameen: Predicting trends by following Roubini

REMEMBER NOURIEL ROUBINI? The New York University economist was the lone voice six years ago on financial-news shows warning of a huge US real estate bubble that would burst so badly that it could shake the very foundations of the global financial system.

Hacks made fun of “his downbeat message, combined with an accent reminiscent of a James Bond villain”. Despite more dire warnings from mainstream economists who quietly joined Roubini’s cries of wolf, the US housing bubble just kept burgeoning.

Sometimes a lackluster script meets outrageous talent, stunning visuals, an epic soundtrack, and suddenly you have best-picture winner, Gladiator. Sometimes you have A-list talent and a director famous for churning out critical favorites, but something gets lost along the way and you end up with The Fountain.

IT SOUNDS like the plot of an airport thriller or a James Bond film. A crack team of experts, assembled by a shadowy government agency, develops a cyber-weapon designed to shut down a rogue country’s nuclear programme. The software uses previously unknown tricks to worm its way into industrial control systems undetected, searching for a particular configuration that matches its target—at which point it wreaks havoc by reprogramming the system, closing valves and shutting down pipelines.
This is not fiction, but fact. A new software “worm” called Stuxnet (its name is derived from keywords buried in the code) seems to have been developed to attack a specific nuclear facility in Iran. Its sophistication suggests that it is the work of a well-financed team working for a government, rather than a group of rogue hackers trying to steal secrets or cause trouble. America and Israel are the obvious suspects. But Stuxnet’s origins and effects are unknown. …
