Entelligence is a column by technology strategist and author Michael Gartenberg, a man whose desire for a delicious cup of coffee and a quality New York bagel is dwarfed only by his passion for tech. In these articles, he'll explore where our industry is and where it's going -- on both micro and macro levels -- with the unique wit and insight only he can provide.
This was a big week for Microsoft, as Steve Ballmer took the stage in New York and formally introduced Windows 7 to the world. It was almost a little anti-climactic: the OS has been finished and shipped to OEMs for months, while developers and pretty much any enthusiast who wanted a copy has one by now. Still, this is the week that Microsoft takes the message and OS to the mass market and the PC holiday sales system formally kicks off. I've held back from writing about the OS for the most part, but here's seven things about Windows 7 -- three features that I think are over-hyped and four things that make 7 something worth purchasing, either as an upgrade or as part of a new PC.

Of course nobody expects
Motorola and Verizon to be the sole benefactors of
Android 2.0's Donut-ey goodness in the long run, but in an age of increasing Android ubiquity it seemed odd to see them as the only ones with a more-or-less-confirmed Android 2.0 handset on the way. Well, Sascha Segan over at Gearlog did some digging and while Samsung wouldn't confirm any Android 2.0 work, HTC was forthcoming in saying that it's had Android 2.0 around for a while, and is working on it for future phones. Perhaps the HTC Desire (dubbed
Droid Eris) or the
Passion will be one of those phones? It would be odd to see Verizon introduce a 2.0 handset from Motorola and only 1.5 or 1.6 handsets from HTC, but we'll just have to see how it all goes down next month -- Motorola sure seems buddy buddy with Google on this one. But if
Dell could track down a copy, we don't see how far behind HTC could be on this one.

What is it about the dawn of a new year - and, in this case, a new decade - that inspires such an interminable parade of lists?
The 100 best albums of the decade (The Strokes? Seriously?),
the 30 best TV series of the decade (The Wire? Seriously?), the
10 most influential games of the decade (The Sims? Seriously?) - even the
10 best conservative movies of the decade (just -- seriously?). Apparently in the days between Christmas and New Year, the world stops demanding actual journalism - or writing. Instead, stuffed large with leftover turkey and re-gifted booze, we're happy to accept any old rehashed crap, provided it's appended with the words "...of the year" (2.5 billion results on Google) or "...of the decade" (72.8 million results). But not so at TechCrunch. There's a reason why we had more stories on Techmeme's list of the '
ten objectively biggest tech stories of 2009' than any other single news source, and that's because - even in a week when no one is reading anything we write - we retain our passion for
real journalism and
impassioned campaigning, along with our hatred of lazy, crowd-pleasing bullshit. Nah, just kidding. Here's this week's list of the best lists published on TechCrunch this past week...

We live in a world of diverse mobile devices. Laptops, smartphones and everything in between define the mobile experience of the 21st century. But what is the killer application for mobile computing? We all know the theory of killer apps -- they're the reason and the purpose people invest in new devices. The killer app in the early days of PCs was the VisiCalc spreadsheet. PageMaker and the creation of desktop publishing were the killer apps for the GUI-based PC, most notably the Macintosh. But for mobile, it's not as clear; some people think the killer app for mobile is email, while other say it's the mobile web. Personally, I don't think there's one specific killer application -- I think the killer app for mobile is simply context.
