Made in Germany so you know it's good! (there probably should be about nine explanation marks after that)

Honestly since 2000, I'd have to say The Porsche GT2. It's my big goal in life (the other was just accomplished recently by touching the Stanley Cup!!!)
I've touched the cup as well, but to me the best thing this millennium so far would be the iPod touch/iPhone and Dan Marino inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
 
Name the best thing you think has come out since 2000 2001.

The new millennium began in 2001. ;)

As for me, I think the best thing that has happened since the new millennium is the expansion of gay rights. It's hard to believe that just 7 years ago no nation on Earth recognized same-sex marriage, and now there are 6 nations and 2 US states which recognize it. Nicely done I'd say. :)
 
Global warming hysteria. If you can't get stupid pricks to pay attention to the enviroment, then scare 'em to death and they will... oh yes they will...
 
Ok I will try and list a few

1. Getting a job - 2004
2. Buying my first Mac ( Mac Mini) - 2005
3. Going up through the ranks at work
4. Finally putting on weight was skinny most of my teenage life
 
Dibs!!

My college career, started in 2005 and ending in 4 months. On the technology side, definitely iTunes and more recently Amazon music. I can't tell you the last time I bought a CD or went to the store to get a DVD/Blu-Ray to rent.
 
iPod or iPhone. Both have revolutionized their respective industries.

I'd say in a toss up, the iPod. It is, they say, the first pop culture icon of the new millennium.
 
Excluding medicine etc

The Millau Bridge - engineering and design.

Not a new product - the resurgence of the 7 inch single.

The bad - digital switchover; the con that digital/new technology is always better. Suckers who have their entire music collection on hard disc.

Cheers,

High speed internet was around before 2000. As was the porn you could download through it. :)

For me, getting married.
 

This is a big relief, with both W leaving and Obama coming in a few days ago. Even McCain coming in would be a vast improvement over business as usual Bush Jr. and company.

But I think we are blessed with a young, forward thinking leader and even though I voted Green Party, I think the Democratic party has been revitalized to the energy it had in the 1993-2001 Clinton presidency.

With every 10 years a recession and every 25 or 30 years a depression or mini-depression, we should hope there is a strong leader there when those predictable lag times hit.

On a lighter note, I think for Apple the iPod line has been the best millennium product and perhaps the best and furthest reaching product in that company's history. The moniker iPod has become so prevalent that I have seen people call non-Apple MP3 players as their "iPod". It's as successful as the Kleenex brand overtaking the term "facial tissue". A hundred years from now, I am convinced Apple Inc, if looking back on their great invention, will most be remembered for the iPod.
