A few quick statistics before we get on to our daily business. In the 261 weekdays of the last year, we've brought you 216 daily remainder pieces (including today's), authored by four writers (David Chartier produced two, Jason Snell wrote six, Lex Friedman penned 18, and I've written, um, 190). Our most popular remainders pieces of all time? The September 3 edition of last year, , followed, interestingly enough, by the May 24, 2010 edition . So, uh, I guess you guys really liked that Justin Long fellow, huh?

In any case, thanks for joining us for the past year, and stick with us, because there's plenty more to come. Goodnight, everybody!

Huh...I feel like I've forgotten something.

Ah, yes! The music labels say they're counting on Apple, because Apple's never let them down (and they've always been at war with Eastasia), Cupertino's the target of another location-data lawsuit (if only people couldn't find the company so easily!), and Apple narrowly avoids becoming the target of a massive open-source manhunt (they were going to have a hard target search of every subversion repository in a radius of six miles). The remainders for Wednesday, May 11, 2011 are one year old today!
