    I know @jskls and @Amica responded to the latest puzzle. This being a very easy puzzle, I am sure others solved it even though they have not responded. I am planning to publish the answers tomorrow morning. Please let me know if I need to wait longer.

    Kaniths,

    Please take it easy and rest. I read your earlier message that you were working late and you lost some of the work you did. The answer can wait until you had a chance to solve the puzzle. No hurry.

    Answer to Puzzle #7214 :

    Time Magazine - Person of Year 2006 - You! :)

    'You' were chosen in 2006 as Time magazine's Person of the Year. This award recognized the millions of people who anonymously contribute user generated content to wikis (including Wikipedia), YouTube, MySpace, Facebook and the multitudes of other websites featuring user contribution.

    1101061225_400.jpg

    The cover of the magazine featured an iMac computer monitor with a reflective pane appearing as the window of a YouTube like video player, intended to reflect as online content the visage of whoever picks up the magazine. The time remaining indicator in the image indicates a total duration of "20:06," a visual pun connecting this ubiquitous bit of interface design to the year in which it gained ascendancy in Time's view.

    New York Daily News article named the 2006 award naming one of the ten most controversial "Person of the Year" moments in the history of Time.

    You (Time Person of the Year) - Wikipedia

    Read the cover story online - @Time :
    You! Yes, You are TIME's Person of the Year


    Clues:

    As Time Goes By...
    1) Time keyword (as explained previously)
    2) "Time goes by" implied meaning - Every year Time magazine chooses POY.

    Many are called, Few are chosen...
    1) Choose / Chosen keyword (as explained previously)
    2) Implied meaning - Many candidates are considered, only few / one tops the list to be chosen as the POY.

    You are the one...
    1) You keyword (as explained previously)
    2) Implied meaning - Time chose YOU as the POY 2006.

    Play or Pause...
    1) Just a confirmation clue, hint for YouTube, with reference to Time's cover photo (cited in the first few lines before clues).

    2) In accordance with this Time's annual process, "You", or "the YouTube guys", was floated as possible winner by Readers' opinions, canvassed online. Refer : Wikipedia.

    Thanks for playing! :)

    Cya guys with more puzzles after a short break! :)
