6. Google: Just browsing!
The rumor that Google might be working on a browser is so venerable that it apparently predates actual work on a Google browser. On Labor Day, the company accidentally came clean in the oddest way: via a leaked comic book by master explainer Scott McCloud. Chrome turned out to be a tad spartan but very nicely done, and Google took it out of beta after only three months. My guess is that they’re going to promote the heck out of it–one more thing for Microsoft to stress over.

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.
