"According to a Macworld article, Ive received this honor at the Queen's New Year Honours ceremony."
When I first read that, I read it as "I've received this honor" :p
and while we're all being pedantic, the honour that he was awarded is Commander OF The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, not IN!!

And yes, it's 'honour' not 'honor'. There are no such things as Honors to give out, it's a proper noun, not an adjective.
Pedantry is still spelt the same way though ;-)
Did he receive the honour today or on New Years?
