Apple's 10 Most Unforgettable Moments

Apple had a wide range of hits in the past decade, as well as a few misses. Together they make up the best and the worst of Apple's performance in the 2000s.

In looking back over the past decade, I selected memorable events from each year, from the year 2000 to 2009. If anything really juicy happens in December, we'll have to edit the list and make it the Top Eleven Best or Worst Events in the 2000s for Apple.

In the meantime, here are what I think are the 10 most memorable events for Apple in the past decade. They struck me as important because they impacted technology, customers, or popular culture. Some don't fit neatly into any category, but are just too interesting to pass up.

When you go through my list, think back to how some of the events affected you, your friends, or your business.

With that in mind, drum roll please…
