PC World's 20 most i ovative products of 2006

PC World has just released their '20 Most I ovative Products for 2006,' and there i 't an A le product in sight. Why, then, am I writing about it you might ask. Because 3 Mac related items did make it on the list:

• Intel Core 2 Duo: This little chip powers the most recent crop of Macs and it clocked in (get it?) at number 2 on the list.
• Parallels Desktop for Mac: Entering at number 3 is Parallels Desktop, the Mac a of 2006. No other a has received such good reviews, buzz, or accolades. The best part? All the praise is well deserved.
• Google SketchUp: Google's relatio hip with the Mac has been rocky, but they are really working hard to patch things up. SketchUp is available for both Mac and PC and it is darn fun to play around with (and I bet it is even useful to some folks).

Congrats to everyone who made it onto the list this year, and boo to PC World for reading the article acro several pages.
