Just thinking about 2007, I personally sat through over 2,000 product demonstrations. While there were a few standouts in consumer, business, and enterprise categories along the way, the rest is just a blur...

It seems that government intelligence has finally been put to some good use. They launched a full research division to track Santa Claus as he makes his way around the world this Christmas.
It’s a mashup of Google Maps and YouTube, providing a point by point view of Santa’s visits, including video surveillance, as it happens.
