Mozilla’s new programming language (called Rust) may have been the top story of this last week, but our annual year-end series on top products and developments was almost as popular. Richard MacManus kicked off the series with the top 10 semantic Web products; we also looked at the top startups and top culture of tech stories.
In our coverage of other Internet trends we found a new app store for iPhone jailbreakers. In Internet of Things news, tech culture writer extraordinaire Curt Hopkins came up with my favorite story and headline of the week: Your Next Computer May Be Made of… BRAINS! Read on for more top stories.

Download The Age of Exabytes: Tools & Approaches for Managing Big Data
We are experiencing a big data explosion, a result not only of increasing Internet usage by people around the world, but also the connection of billions of devices to the Internet. Eight years ago, for example, there were only around 5 exabytes of data online. Just two years ago, that amount of data passed over the Internet over the course of a single month. And recent estimates put monthly Internet data flow at around 21 exabytes of data.
Our latest report, The Age of Exabytes, explores how technologies are evolving to address the needs of managing big data, from innovations in storage at the chip and data center level, to the development of frameworks used for distributed computing, to the increasing demand for analytical tools that can glean insights from big data in near real-time.
