We’re bidding adieu to 2007 with a look back at the breaking news, the big events and the must-have gadgets that captivated us this year (give or take a few weeks; we compile this list by early December).

We encourage you to check out our findings to see if you, too, reflect the zeitgeist — the spirit of the times.
