November 2011
2011 has been a remarkable year, what with the extraordinary weather patterns, more than the usual worldwide political turmoil, and national apprehension over the delicate state of our economy.

5. The days of owning software are numbered.

6. Real bandwidth to the household.

7. The rise of streaming media.
