Macworld’s 22nd Eddy Awards

EddyOur colleagues over at Macworld have released their annual list of the best of the best for the Mac. The Editors’ Choice Awards (known colloquially by the guys down at the bar as the “Eddys”) are voted upon by Macworld’s editorial team. This year’s list (the 22nd) features 29 items, ranging from Apple hardware like the MacBook and Mac Pro, to software like Google Earth and Fission, to peripherals like the EyeTV Hybrid and Logitech’s Revolution mice.

In order to be eligible for a 2006 Eddy award, the product had to be released between November 1st, 2005, and November 1st, 2006. Though only 29 made the final cut, the original list had 120 items. As we speak, the remaining 91 items are being sealed in a stone container and buried deep beneath the sands of Egypt…wait, sorry, that’s the Ark of the Covenant.

Of course, it’s never too soon to start thinking about next year’s Eddys. With Macworld Expo fast approaching, we’re bound to see some potential candidates surface. How about a piece of hardware that shoots lightning-like death rays over the assembled hordes of darkness—sorry, that’s the Ark of the Covenant again. Sorry. Damn.
