We present the most intriguing tech
products, people, and news of 2008
Years from now, when future geeks muse over the history
of PC tech, what will they remember about 2008? That’s the
question we sought to answer when we compiled this com-
prehensive technology retrospective of the last year. Make no
mistake, identifying and sorting the year’s most signifi cant
tech events was no easy task. We locked ourselves in a room
where we mentally relived the last 12 months, pondering
hundreds of items of note and debating the importance of
each to fi nd its appropriate rank on our list. Behold the result:
our countdown of 100 items representing the most notewor-
thy events and product releases that shaped the PC computing
landscape in 2008. Of course, there are more than just 100
things about this past year worth mentioning. Find our com-
