The Calm Before The Tectonic Storm?

Have you noticed a lack of 7.0 + magnitude earthquakes recently?  According to this poster at GLP,  the planet averages at least one earthquake a month that strong or stronger, and the USGS hasn't listed a 7 or higher eq since April 11.  Have we cured earthquakes? 

Maybe the plates are locked..  Maybe that's not such a good thing.  What event will change this static dynamic, and how explosive will it be?
