The Year 2007 on Pixelyzed​.com

An overview of the last year on pix​e​lyzed​.com Now that 2008 is just about to start, I thought it would be a good idea to write a pix​e​lyzed​.com style year end review. There’s been a lot of activ­ity in our lit­tle world last year as well as in other areas of the soft­ware indus­try. Throughout 2007, I dis­cussed prod­ucts and…
