When did it happen?

Take a look at this news item:
 
Screen resolution 800 x 600 significantly decreased for exploring the internet according to OneStat.com
 
Amsterdam - July 25 - OneStat.com ( www.onestat.com ), the number one provider of real-time intelligence web analytics, today reported that more and more internet users choose for screen resolution 1024 x 768 which is the most popular screen resolution for exploring the internet.
 
The finding has important implications for web site designers because most web sites are designed for a screen resolution of 800 x 600 pixels.
 

The screen resolution 1024 x 768 has reached an all time high and has risen from 54.02 percent in June 2004 to 57.38 percent. Users with monitors set to the most common resolution 800 x 600 for web sites have an approximate 18.23 percent global usage share. A year ago this percentage was 24.66 percent.

Only one detail is missing from this page - the year. When did this happen? We can guess from the last paragraph that the article was published in 2005, but it does not say that.
 
Don't forget to put dates on time-locked materials.
