Subject: Happy 2017 -- the Top 20 stories on DeepChip.com for 2016

  EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first year ever that my Cheesy Must
  See List was NOT the most viewed story on DeepChip (people use
  it as a guide throughout the year.)  But instead, the unexpected
  Siemens/Mentor buyout plus the bigwig's reply took #1 for 2016.

  After that, it was no surprise that IP user rankings -- plus the
  SoftBank/ARM buyout were the #4 and #5 "big stories" of 2016.

  Then Joe Sawicki caught everyone's attention by discussing on
  video "how Calibre breaks at almost every node" got #6.

  My favorite was that my interview of 3 full custom engineers on what
  was REALLY up with the new CDNS Virtuoso ADE launch made #8.

  EXCLUDING the "Best EDA tools of 2016" survey, here's the top 20
  stories of 2016 as ranked by URL pageviews.  An average DeepChip
  link gets ~20,000 reader pageviews.  Have a Happy 2017.  - John
