I don't know about you but I hate having to wait until the end of the year to read those "best of" lists.
This is doubly true because those lists almost always favor things released near the end of the year. Well, we're half-way through 2007 already and so here's our list of the top 5 coolest things we've seen
so far this year!  #1 Erector Spykee Robot. A brilliant idea made real. This is a remote control robot that has a microphone and camera on it that will transmits what it sees and ...

Holy cow what a year it has been at Stardock.  10 years ago, Stardock was an OS/2 developer.  If you were with us from the OS/2 days, comment below. We'd love to hear what some of your favorite OS/2 experiences were.  If 10 years ago someone had told us that we'd be helping Microsoft on Windows Vista projects and have top-rated turn based strategy game of the year we would have never believed it.

So what were some of the highlights of last year?

February: Galactic Civilizati...

There's been some bumps lately in terms of Stardock being able to get "stuff out there" to users.  Why is that? This article talks about the back end of what's been going on.

Here's a bunch of pictures.  Some community members are in there.  IN the 3rd row Patrick from OSNN is there.  Sorry about the blurry pictures of the monitors.  Steve (Neobond) has his back pictured in the 4th row.  Marcel (Redmak from Noewin) is the first picture on the left.

It's been quite a show. CES is a computer nerd's dream. Every kind of gadget and gizmo you could imagine is there.



Outside the show there was a Microsoft tent that looked pretty cool.  Windows Vista is EVERYWHERE and looking fine.



Another look from outside.



1080p TVs were everywhere.



Several members from the Windows community there.  Neowin.net, TweakXP.com, OSNN, Bink, Longhorn blogs, and more.



Chris Pirillo and Jen from Microsoft.  Sure, I stol...

I walked the show floor quite a bit on day 2 and everywhere you looked it was HD-DVD vs. Blu Ray. Microsoft meanwhile seems to have a real winner with their MCE (Media Center Edition) that they're preparing for Windows Vista.

For me, the big thing is being able to record HD content from various sources and save it to a hard drive or stream to other places in the house. The UI is very slick and if you have an XBOX 360 then all the better.

My travels did lead to some sight seeing after the s...

Bink.nu has a funny article about tonight's Keynote where Gatesand Balmer played each other in boxing on the Xbox 360.

Tonight Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates presented the keynote address here at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.  WinCustomize.com is there in the press room blogging live from the event right now!

Windows Vista as well as gives a vision on how personal computing technology will go in the future.

During his demo, Mr. Gates was able to integrate his information and data seamlessly across a cell phone, tablet PC, and his desktop PC that was connected to a 40 inch monitor th...

Survived the trip to Las Vegas. I hate traveling. And being cramped in a seat for 4 hours is no fun.  To small too tight fitting to be comfortable with. Which brings me to a related issue - young overweight females should not wear tight fitting shirts that don't cover their bodies completely. It's yucky, gross, and just wrong.

As soon as we got to the hotel, ran into Steve and Marcel (Neowin admins) along with other friends from the community.  Went to the Vista lab with them and th...
