Macworld's year in review Another year, another list of Macworld's most-read stories. These are the top stories, by page view, we received during the calendar year. Some of them were posted in prior years, which is interesting, but they achieved their places on this list entirely due to 2010 traffic. One note before we get started: this year you won't find any of our "live update" stories from Apple events in our list. We track those stories differently (and used a half-dozen different methods of covering those events in 2010), so they aren't included.

Now, on to the top stories. - Jason Snell Our Top Story Introducing the Switching to Mac Superguide Macworld's Switching to Mac Superguide is aimed at new Mac owners who are making their first baby steps into the OS X world.
