In 2011 this were
Invictus Companion
Dreamlands
For 2012
Cthulhu by Gaslight 3rd Edition (announced) <- note that this is a reprint / new editon

I'd like to point out that Chaosium is still owned and ran by the same people who established the company since 1978 or so. Heck, it's still the daily job of several. Every other company from that era either vanished, quit publishing RPGs or was sold. They must be doing *something* right. I believe that part of that *something* is keeping their primary product pretty much unchanged across the editions.
(I'd also mention their uber-liberal licensing policy).

Any other idiots actually grab the book to see what was really on page 577?

Admittedly, my only reason for wanting Paizo to do Psionics is just to make people shut up about it.To be honest, given Paizo's apparent apathy towards psionics, I'd be surprised if their "psionics system" amounted to anything more than a new Sorcerer bloodline: Psionic. Bloodline powers would be that the sorcerer ignores all material, somatic, and verbal components, including focuses, regardless of cost.
My bet is on sorcerer, magus and oracle variant classes, with vetoed bloodlines/mysteries/archetypes.

So Chaosium doesn't publish modules or the like either?
Actually for most of their history, if I recall correctly, Chasium's usual model was to create systems and then license them out to other companies like Avalon Hill. I believe the Eternal Champion series was one such set of products done this way.
I dont' want a new VERSION of Pathfinder, but I wouldn't mind a new edition of the main book, with all the errata updated and clarifications to age old squables about rules. Also, updated spell and feat lists which identifies which book the item originated in. An updated cover and interior art would be nice, too. I would purchase such a book.

And with "daily job" you mean "hobby", of course.

You know, I wouldn't mind a 2nd edition from Paizo in the next 18 months - I trust that they wouldn't break compatibility with their existing materials on Golarion or the APs with a new version of the Core book.
If a 2nd edition of the Core book simply improved it's readability and comprehensiveness and maybe had 10-20 "tweaks" to mechanics, I think it would be a valuable option for tabletop groups to pick up and support Paizo's efforts.
I suspect at this point, with a few years tucked under the belt, there's a laundry list of "tweaks" that just make sense that are so minor they wouldn't affect the stat blocks of monsters or NPCs hardly at all.
I think a more fun question would be - what "tweaks" would you happily accept in a "new printing" (to make it sound less severe than a new edition) of the Core book?
(Consider these "tweaks" not unlike the revision to Heirloom Weapon that came out - mechanical adjustments that improve the game and open up broader use of rules - such as long neglected feats).

Ahh... the legendary rounding errors. Thank you Jacobs, I always get confused on where to round up. Hopefully this information will be more better placed in PF2.
James Jacobs, is this true: 2+2=4? ANSWER NOW!
nope
It's 3. Check page 577.
Nope. In fact, after seeing how excited and delighted people are to find what they perceive to be errors, whether or not they ARE, we've decided to increase the ambiguity by 22% and the flat-out-wrong by 43%. Starting with this post! :-)
