DVICE has reported on a hilarious youtube video demonstrating HP's face-tracking webcam, showing how it works perfectly on a white women, and fails on a black man. Its more likely the lighting has caused this failure, rather than HP racism as the article declares but at least HP are looking into the issue.

The LHC fire brigade got some excitement today when liquid helium started venting from their favourite particle accelerator. As we all know, liquid helium is used to keep those magnets nicely beer chilled. From the article:
"The failure, known as a quench, caused around 100 of the LHC's super-cooled magnets to heat up by as much as 100C.
The fire brigade were called out after a tonne of liquid helium leaked into the tunnel at Cern, near Geneva.
The LHC beam will remain turned off over the weekend while engineers investigate the severity of the fault.
A spokesman for Cern told the BBC it was not yet clear how soon progress could resume at the £3.6bn ($6.6bn) particle accelerator."
