Subject: The DeepChip Top 10 EDA Trip Report and Survey Stories of 2010

LIGHTENING STRIKES TWICE: In 2010 two one-time Cadence events disrupted the
normal tool talk that typically goes on in the DeepChip user surveys; their
big EDA360 announcement plus the Cadence-Denali acquisition.  Otherwise it
appears that NextOp's BugScope and Magma's Tekton were most likely going to
be the two big user-surveyed stories of 2010.
