Oh, 15th-anniversary page, how we'll miss you. For 12 issues, we've used this space for overtly self-referential sesquidecimalizing. As the year comes to an end, we thought we'd take a look back at the way we looked back. Herewith, our favorite items.
1 On the first anniversary page, we ran a collection of all our covers that featured
guys with beards—14 furry-faced geniuses. Weirdly, 18 of them were George Lucas.
2 In September, we
compared the number of issues that mention Bill Gates (150) to the number of issues that mention Steve Jobs (110). Apple's lawyers have demanded we pick up the pace.
3 July's edition listed things we
pronounced dead prematurely (like, oh, Web browsers). Is this anniversary shtick
really over?
4 In March, we charted the number of covers that
used neon ink. We love graphs. In fact, on the left is a little graph of how much we love graphs.
5 Two issues ago we created an "evil meter" to help Google navigate today's murky moral waters. They sued us.* Jerks.
*Not really.
