Techwise, I’m still not sure whether I’m grateful 2008 is almost over or sorry to see it shuffle off into the past. I do know that it was a strange, eventful year–and that much of the biggest news involved Apple, Google, Microsoft, and various combinations thereof. Here’s a recap of the year’s biggest stories, as judged by a blue-ribbon panel consisting of…well, me. Feel free to counter my choices in comments if you disagree with ‘em–actually, I’d be grateful if you would.

Good job, but I you seem to be applauding Apple too much (don’t worry, engadget does it too…but unlike with you people make fun of them!). I mean, Steve Jobs not doing the Mac Expo isn’t THAT huge of a story…Microsoft’s ad campaign and XP’s refusal to die (ironically both Microsoft stories) had more buzz than Jobs not doing the Expo.

Nice work – although I almost agree with Relyt… a bit too much Appletalk for us old school Microsoft geeks who are too stuck in our way to move to Apple. I wonder what the stories of 2009 will be – my guess is that electronic medical records and personal health records will be up there!

i work in the cellphone industry so with my perspective, its pretty near impossible to overemphasize the impact the i-phone has had.
