See http://2010.newsweek.com/home.html for top ten lists, essays and photos from the first decade of the 21st Century.

Well done.

Funny how the only time a country apart from the United States of Arrogance gets a mention is when they're invaded by the US

We still have one month and 21 days to go in this decade!

I was surprised that the iPod was 2001, for some reason it seemed earlier. Ditto for the Harry Potter movies.

Adding video to channels (History, Politics) - requested by NetRunner.

It was an awful decade.

We need to turn it around, and quick.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Amazing and a little sickening how US-centric this was. Does Madonna kissing Brittany seriously deserve a mention? Our poor world.

"Tell us what we missed."

1. Completion of the Human Genome Project in 2000.
2. Growing a new trachea from patients' own cells in 2008.
3. Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan got into a tiff in 2007, thereby altering the course of history.

Anything else?

And I thought the '70's were bad...ladies and gentlemen, we have a new winnah! *horrible

How 'bout the huge health care argument for the majority of 2009? (If we're being completely US-centric, that is.) And possibly the recent pass in the House?

Various terrorist bombings, natural disasters, and elections were mentioned for other countries.

Newsweek is an American magazine. ...No, Brittany and Madonna don't deserve to be on there.

Wrong title, should be something like:
"The American Decade in Seven Minutes"

overall pretty good though.

A decade on Planet United States of America...and their invaded countries...

Not sure this would have made the top 15 if it was a Latvia-centric decade in review. It's an American magazine, people.

Yes it is, and it claims to be "everything you need to know about the decade." Apparently you don't need to know anything that didn't directly involve Americans or people in countries we invaded.

Its pretty subjective to claim you know what Americans need to know about the decade any better than the editors of Newsweek.
