Subject: The DeepChip Top 10 EDA Business, News & Gossip Stories of 2010

TABLOID NEWS: For news, my perennial "Cheesy Must See List for DAC" again
topped the DeepChip reader pageviews.  It was followed by Cadence's EDA360
proposal, & Atrenta/Denali/Springsoft (again!) giving away free DAC passes.

For gossip, the Magma Tekton vs. PrimeTime story, the Synfora firesale, and
the DAC double counting 1,554 attendees stories all first broke on DeepChip.

For fun, the mock Apple vs. Microsoft "commercials" Oasys did vs. Synopsys.
