InfoWorld has announced its 2014 Technology of the Year Award winners, recognizing the best tools and technologies for developers, IT pros, and businesses. ‘There are several tangible objects on our list, but they’re mostly hardware that lives in backrooms away from grubby hands. Anyone who buys them immediately hides them away from everyone, so the machines won’t get hurt. The rest of the winners are pieces of software, many of which aren’t even sold as software, per se. They’re packaged as services, which are even more ephemeral and untouchable than the cloud servers they run on.’ Included is an image gallery of the 35 winners.
