Think you know tech? Let's find out.

Our editors are hard at work putting together the CNET 100, our annual look back at the most important developments in tech this year. In it, we will name the 100 most important stories in tech, broken into four categories: technologies, people, trends, and news events.

Here's where you come in. Guess what our editors will pick for the most important technology, trend, person, and news story in 2012, and you'll be entered into our CNET 100: Winner Techs All Contest.

Our official list doesn't launch until December 11. Meanwhile, you can take a guess at what will top that list for a chance to win $5,000*. Ready to enter? Now for the fine print about how:
