Snails On Methamphetamine 93
sciencehabit writes "Science answers the question: What happens when you put a snail on speed?

Microsoft Kills Support For XP SP2 315
Trailrunner7 writes "Microsoft's announcement this week that it is preparing to end support for machines running Windows XP SP2 not only represents a challenge for the thousands of businesses still running SP2, but also is the end of an era for both Microsoft and its customers.

It wasn't necessarily the feature set that mattered as much as the fact that the protections were enabled by default and taken out of the users' hands."
