Whose iPad actually is?
The idea to ditch the keyboard for what Jobs calls a multi-touch display came about in the early 2000s.
The picture left comes from a 1999 slide presentation about a business development activity at Philips labeled the iHome project; a version of it used a special symbol based on the @ sign with a picture of a home was created for this project aimed a devices that combined media content display, user interaction and communications. One of the products was a PDA. Now, who will pay Apple for iPad patent? More pictures on Apple patent claims back to 2002 here.

Fast Forward Exaflops
The Department of Energy is continuing to dole out cash to pay for some
of the basic research that needs to be done if the United States is going to field exascale-class supercomputers by 2020 or so.

Is the God's particle actually a womans' band ?
Here is the first photo ever have been posted at web, some 20 years ago. The Cernettes.
For now we have only proved "single resonance" tune? instead of God's particle.

Faulty data misled pilot in Brazil-France crash
The Airbus 330 passenger jet flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris crashed on June 1, 2009.
A pilot facing faulty data and deafening alarms in an oversea thunderstorm pitched his plane sharply up instead of down as it stalled.
"I don't have control of the plane at all," the pilot said, a minute before it crashed
"It was like a giant pinball machine in there," Goglia said. "You have lights and whistles going off all over the place. Which one do you believe? They have no reference to the sky because it's night and stormy. At the very least, they didn't know what to rely on."

Why actually there is more matter than antimatter ?
Ratio of the two
densities arises roughly as the ratio of the
weak interaction scale to the strong
interaction scale

99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: No one asked and bother why there is more strong than weak nuclear force.

If there is no God's particle, no God too?
I show how the ordinary fermions can be partially composite, where the
constituents participate in SU(2) × U(1) breaking. The mechanism assumes
no exotic strong interaction dynamics since the force binding the
constituents is entirely QCD-like. A family mass and mixing angle
hierarchy can arise automatically in such models, without being put in
by hand. Clues to flavor structure would be accessible at SSC energies
in such a theory, including technibaryons that decay to ordinary
fermions.

Is it Higgs or not: Physicists in Europe will present evidence of an entirely new particle on Wednesday
Fine, there is something there — a resonance
Physicists in Europe will present evidence of an entirely new particle on Wednesday
“Without a doubt, we have a discovery,” says one member of the team working on the ATLAS experiment, who wished to remain anonymous. Physicists have maintained that they will not announce the discovery of the Higgs until the signal surpasses 5 sigma, meaning that it has just a 0.00006% chance of being wrong. The ATLAS and CMS experiments are each seeing signals between 4.5 and 5 sigma, just a whisker away from a solid discovery claim. The results are also consistent with an analysis from the mothballed Tevatron collider, which was presented today at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois.
