South Africa's first black president and anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela dies at the age of 95

The birth of Prince George

The never ending story of Rob Ford

But sometimes, the news we think is important is not as meaningful to others. Here is Google's Zeitgeist of the top searches in 2013.

Happy New Year!!
