Happy New Year from BetaNews!

By Nate Mook | Published December 31, 2004, 2:26 PM

As balls drop, grapes are eaten and other assorted New Year's festivities begin around the world, BetaNews would like to welcome everyone to 2005, which promises to be an exciting year in technology.

2004 has not ended on an upbeat note for all. We ask that you keep in mind those who have lost their lives, families and loved ones as a result of the tsunami in Asia and east Africa. Donations for victims of the devastation are being accepted through many different channels, and Google has established a Tsunami Relief page that points to a number of these efforts.

Thanks guys. I visit your page every time I start up Firefox. 2004 was not the great year many of us wanted. Lots of crap went down, and now we're stuck with Bush again. But at least the last party of the year is going to ROCK.

Happy 2005 software nerds!
