I am shocked at the list, especially number 8, a tv review???

I was sure the "WARNER GOES BLU-RAY EXCLUSIVE" story would be in the top 20, it had 316 posts, I believe it was January 4 and that bit of news changed the entire high def format war forever.

To make the list a post has to be retuned at the top of search results so sometimes the big news gets lost. This also explains the TV review since this particular model probably wasn't reviewed by many others.
Personally I'm really happy to see that 3 out of the top 5 for 2008 were my very own and that two of my very first posts ever are still at the top after 3 years.
