Well they just tweeted about how much money they raised because of this, and then asked for more, so I beg to differ.

In the run up to the release, they posted some stuff to make it seem like they uncovered a secret plot to target and murder journalists. Instead it was a mistake made in wartime.

The colliding beams produced more particles then current models predict. Which, when you think about it was one of the reasons for the experiment in the first place! Current models not proving everything accurately, and all! Good reading though. Oh and surprisingly, the LHC website doesn't have the news up on it! I guess the scientists have better things to do then write web pages!!

Ubisoft Testing PC Prince of Persia Without DRM 254
Ars Technica reports that the upcoming PC version of Ubisoft's Prince of Persia will not feature any sort of copy protection. (Not including Steam downloads, of course.) After the backlash in recent months over the DRM in games like Spore and GTA IV, Ubisoft is giving gamers the chance to demonstrate that DRM actually increases piracy. One of Ubisoft's community reps had this to say about their decision: "You`re right when you say that when people want to pirate the game they will but DRM is there to make it as difficult as possible for pirates to make copies of our games. A lot of people complain that DRM is what forces people to pirate games but as PoP PC has no DRM we`ll see how truthful people actually are. Not very, I imagine. Console piracy is something else entirely and I`m sure we`ll see more steps in future to try to combat that."
