We don't do a whole lot of looking back here at Popular Science, but as the site winds down for the holiday season, I'd like to take a moment to thank our readers (you!) for making 2010 a great year. We hope you've enjoyed reading the site as much as we've enjoyed editing and writing it for you.
Here's a list of some of my favorite recent original features for your holiday reading pleasure.
Check out our new special issue, designed exclusively for the Samsung Galaxy Tab
We're excited today to unveil our latest digital publishing project, Popular Science+ Top Tech 2010, a special issue of the magazine designed specifically for the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Built on the same platform as our iPad version, Mag+, PS+ Top Tech 2010 brings our blockbuster Best of What's New product awards to Samsung's new 7-inch tablet.
The answer could be in a future issue of Popular Science
Each month, Popular Science tracks down some of science's most brilliant minds to answer your craziest science questions in our mag's FYI column: Can we dispose of radioactive waste in volcanoes? Is it true that birds can't fart? Which organs could I sell for cash and how much would I make?
We want your questions, too! Email them to fyi@popsci.com, and you might find the answer on newsstands (and online) in a future issue.
Well, we're off to ride our flying monorails to visit our robo-families and eat our bioengineered nutri-feasts!
Have a delightful holiday, everyone.
Including a portable oasis, road-ready speedboat, the world's tallest building, and more

It’s one of the most enjoyable parts of my job: the moment in mid-October when a binder is dropped on my desk containing each page of our December Best of What’s New issue slotted sequentially into place so that I can truly immerse myself in this, our annual celebration of superlative technological innovation.
A free update to our iPhone app has just hit the iTunes Store this week. We've given the app a total overhaul, making it even easier and more fun to read and share all the latest news from the future on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
Attention photography fans, snowboarders, Swedish mothers and Danes: Four of PopSci's sibling pubs launch in the iTunes store
When we built and released Popular Science+ back in April, we always knew we weren't just building a one-off app, but a whole system, called Mag+, that we could use to publish more magazines. With the recent launch of Transworld Snowboarding+, we now have five titles on the iPad from across our company, Bonnier, including Popular Photography+, Mama (a Swedish parenting magazine) and Illusteret Videnskab, the original Danish version of our magazine Science Illustrated.
