What sort of witchcraft is this?!? I have all my updates done like you and have been crashing since day one. 5 min. into the game to tell you the truth. Maybe it's a good time to "sway" my wife into letting me drop 1500 dollars on a shinny new (BEAST) computer? :)

Submission + - Canada to Retire the Penny (theverge.com)
butilikethecookie writes: Canada's 2012 federal budget will eliminate production of the penny starting this fall in order to save costs. The budget claims that the coin is a "burden to the economy," as it it costs the Canadian government 1.6 cents to produce each penny — and Canada estimates that it will save about $11 million a year with its elimination. Canada joins a growing number of countries in sacking the penny, including Sweden, New Zealand, Mexico, Australia, Israel, Brazil, and others, and the penny debate is currently ongoing in the US. Looks like I'm done collecting Canadian Pennies. *sad face*

Submission + - W Boson mass found, leads way to Higgs Boson (sciencedaily.com)
SchrodingerZ writes: Scientists have deduced the “world's most precise measurement of the mass of the W Boson,one of nature's elementary particles, has been achieved by scientists from the CDF and DZero collaborations at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.” This new number (80375 +-23 MeV/c2 by the way) puts more constraint on the mass of the theorized http://www.exploratorium.edu/origins/cern/ideas/higgs.html"> Higgs Boson Particle ,which is theorized to give mass to all other things, completing the http://public.web.cern.ch/public/en/Science/StandardModel-en.html"> standard model .“Scientists employ two techniques to find the hiding place of the Higgs particle: the direct production of Higgs particles and precision measurements of other particles and forces that could be influenced by the existence of a Higgs particle.”

ummmm......No shit, bro. I was thinking this in 2005.
Mark my words: The next big outcry will be apple remotely recording you on your facetime and back camera. What a good time to apply duck tape over my ipod and tell my girlfriend to stop wearing low shirts. (aww...) Who the f*ck even uses facetime? They need to make a Windows client version of it.
