Tiger wins Popular Mechanics' Breakthrough Award

Here's one I didn't expect. When I look at Popular Mechanics magazine, my computer's operating system isn't something I expect to see mentioned on its pages, especially as the recipient of an award. Yet, the November 2005 issue features a photo and brief write-up of Tiger, as it receives a "Breakthrough Award" from the magazine:

"[Tiger's] Spotlight search tool changes the way users find data on their computers. Spotlight goes beyond file names to comb through the contents of everything from e-mail to text documents to photos and movie files. Spotlight continually categorizes information from all locations, just like an online search engine."

Pretty cool. Like I said, I didn't know that Popular Mechanics' scope reached so wide. I'll have to check it out.
