Useless math fact


"These and other remarkable formulas are the basis of modern computations of {\pi}: you might ask how does one find such formulas? I have no idea".

Steam for Mac is now available.


"Steam for Mac is officially available, along with a sizeable trove of games—including Portal, which is now free for everybody."

Gizmodo's headline says it all: "Real Gaming for Macs Is Finally Here". (I stole the line above from Gizmodo too.) Steam is an online gaming platform that has heretofore been limited to Windows.

Science Conspiracies


Lots of people believe, that the "Large Hadron Collider", will destroy the world, similarly to making a wee version of a sun using 192 uber powerful lasers (see the article for more information) by 2022.

Also, an extremely popular video explaining in vague details what the LHC does can be found here.

A pretty good video proving the LHC conspiracy is "Science!" (though it goes off topic quite a bit).
