Steve Jobs and Apple appeared in an extraordinary number of 2009's "Best of" lists
Our favorite: "There's an app for that," the Yale Book of Quotations' No. 3 quote of the 2009, right before Rep. Joe Wilson's "You lie" and after Captain Sully Sullenberger's "We're going to be in the Hudson."
Some other citations…
Those are the Apple (AAPL) year-end superlatives we've collected.

Definitely Best Marketing of Overpriced Products. Pure genius. Once Jobs is gone, so is Apple.
