The LHC has the Answer

Tomorrow the experiment with the new LHC (Large Hadron Collider) will start. It is the world's largest particle accelerator complex, and will reveal important data about how was our universe created. However, many scientists believe that it is too dangerous, as it could generate a black hole which would absorb the Earth and finish with the human race...

4 000 million euros were needed to build this ring of 27 km of diameter where -271 ºC will be reached in order to reproduce under the earth the production of the universe. Thousands of scientists will be following this project, whereas many others think it could cause the Apocalypse. We'll see... More information, as always, in Wikipedia.

Nano-Chromatic

In today's Apple keynote the iPod series has been improved. We're going to discuss specially about the new iPod nano. This time it was really difficult for Steve Jobs (Apple CEO) to surprise us, since lots of spy images about the new design were released before the official announce. But he managed to do it anyway.

The improved iPod nano includes the accelerometer we've been seeing in the iPhone and the iPod Touch, which allows the device to detect its position in order to change view mode, and also change song with a shake! The screen is slightly bigger and we can play some new video-games. The new Genius function generates playlists with the songs the iPod "thinks" best combine together.

However, I was a bit disappointed because the iPod nano still doesn't have radio (only with special headphones sold separately) and the price never becomes affordable enough. This is why other companies like Creative and their ZEN compete so strongly with Apple.

I recommend you see the TV ad, as good as always.

What a Final

Spain vs USA has been one of the greatest matches ever. Both teams were incredibly good and it has been very difficult to get those medals. Doubtessly an amazing way of finishing this games, and we hope the closing ceremony is at least as good as the opening one.

I must admit I'm not very happy with the way the referees behaved but the United States have a prominent team and the result would have change very little if the match was more fair. United States, Spain, Argentina. Three important national teams really fought to become world leaders in Beijing 2008. Congratulations to all.
