What technological news did you find exciting or interesting in 2014? What developments would you like to see in 2015?
I found the news relating to the .NET Framework moving to open-source really interesting. I'm expecting to see a closer partnership between Xamarin and Microsoft in 2015 and wouldn't be at all surprised if Microsoft acquired Xamarin.

It all sucked! Until someone perfects the Shark-Mounted-Laser, technology can go take a long walk off a short pier.

I have to agree with Nagy that most of is sucked, but my vote falls on CP making the [selected] text highlight orange. That was rather nifty!

Angular. It was the first pick for me this year.

I'm still not sure about Angular. I've read around it and had a play with it, but can't fathom where or why I would use it. Maybe you can help with that?

Well I can't teach you angular here over the lounge.
But it has provided 3 fundamentals to web developer we were desperately looking for: Automated Data Binding, Declarative Syntax for controls/tags and loosely coupled architecture.
In addition to that, it has many more awesome features. Jump in to youtube and watch some Angular related videos to rejuvenate yourself.

I wasn't looking for a tutorial on Angular as there are already plenty of them on here. I just can't see why or where I would use it.

I heard somebody developed a pair of glasses that go opaque whenever you read somebody talking about how we 'may all be living in a computer simulation'.
Next year I want them to introduce the same thing for loonies suggesting 'we may all be living in a hologram'(cos, you know, holograms are really cool and stuff).

I mean, one minute Judy Garland taps her red shoes together, next Hiroshima. Maybe if more people 'believed' we'd all be speaking Japanese and German at home.

 Come back to me when they've finally perfected a device for peeling, topping and tailing, and chopping an onion! Another wave of must have silicon chippery really isn't what the world needs! Bah, and if I may say so, humbug!

It took sooooo loooong to get 1920 x 1080 on laptops.
(Well, on windows ones at least)
