Large Hardon Collider Day
It was Large Hardon collider day all day yesterday. I’m wishing the site http://largehardoncollider.com/ was funnier, but unfortunately the comedy comes in italics for the hard of understanding.
Also, talking of momentous announcements, there’s a lot of iTunes 8 today. iTunes 8 is still rubbish at almost everything, but now it has a “we’ve heard that something has a similar title, so why not buy all this junk” panel down the side. Today it asked me repeatedly to insert a disk in drive A:. I don’t actually have a drive A:. I’ve been syncing now for the past two hours, first pass was to discover that auto-fill doesn’t take into account video or podcasts, and second pass to include video and podcasts, but also to start all over again with my music. Actually, that’s all my music, minus the stuff it made me delete because I wasn’t authorised to plug in my own ipod into my own computer.
On a more positive note, the universe didn’t end. Dr Brian Cox of the University of Manchester was quoted as saying “Anyone who thinks that the Large Hadron Collider will destroy the world is a twat”. (http://www.astroengine.com/?p=1240). Brian we love you and we take back everything we said about D:Ream.
