See it all unfold in our historical timeline.

Of course, for those who don't appreciate the festivity of the ball drop, despite all of the hard work behind the scenes (http://gizmodo.com/5437809/building-the-times-square-new-years-ball), feel free to ignore the ball's 32,256 glimmering Philips LEDs and turn your attention to your iPhone...because, yes, Waterford has made an app for that (http://gizmodo.com/5437570/waterford-clink+clink-app-is-a-must-for-new-years-eve).
Happy New Year everyone!
