Buzz off

This Google Buzz thing is a total pain in the arse to kill, why on earth they defaulted the thing to “on” I do not know. The following link is useful because unfortunately killing the buzz isn’t as simple as hitting the off switch. Buzz off: Disabling Google Buzz

No One Knows What the F*** They’re Doing

“When you find yourself in a situation where you don’t know what you’re doing, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Don’t ever feel ashamed for not understanding something, even it seems like it should be obvious; if you don’t understand it, then it’s not obvious, plain and simple.”

Journal of High Energy Physics

Apparently the scientists at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) have published their first results in the December edition of the Journal of High Energy Physics JHEP12(2009) If you can find which paper/s, please let me know in the comments.

It’s fun simply reading the titles of the papers, some examples of how far from our everyday reading material these get and how even David Foster Wallace would’ve been proud of some of them…

“Radiation problem in transplanckian scattering”

“Flux backgrounds from Twists”

“A conformal field theory for eternal inflation?”

“Fuzzy Killing spinors and supersymmetric D4 action on the fuzzy 2-sphere from the ABJM model”

and the poetic “Dark matter sees the light”.
