An Old Year Dismiss, A New Year Kiss = Lots O'Lists

EDN's Hot 100 Products of 2006 list is already published, and the finalists in the 2006 Innovation of the Year competition will be in tomorrow's issue of the magazine. In that light, I thought you might enjoy seeing some of the other end/beginning-of-year lists that I've been collecting over the past month-plus:

• Wired's 2006 Vapourware Awards (commentary by Slashdot) and reader feedback
• Wired's serious (and not-so-serious) predictions for 2007 (commentary by Slashdot on the former)
• IEEE Spectrum's 2006 Technology Winners and Losers (commentary by Slashdot), and
• Wired's Best and Worst of the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show
