SpaceX successfully launches Falcon 1 into orbit
With the Space Shuttle scheduled to retire in 2010, alternative transport vessels will need to be developed to keep the International Space Station manned, and to keep options open for possible manned lunar missions. After three failed attempts, the SpaceX Falcon 1 has successfully achieved Earth orbit – the first privately developed liquid fuel rocket to do so. ..

Canon EOS 5D Mark II preview
Canon EOS 5D Mark II preview
Today Canon made the EOS 5D Mark II official. The successor to the first 'affordable' full-frame DSLR now features a considerable boost in resolution from 12.8 to 21.1 Megapixels. This matches Canon's current flagship EOS 1Ds Mark III, but it's a brand new sensor which Canon claims delivers its best quality yet. The sensor supports 14-bit files, continuous shooting at 3.9fps and extended sensitivity up to 25,600 ISO. The viewfinder's been improved to 98% coverage, there's a 3in VGA screen, the 9-point AF system is complemented by 6 assist points, and there's even HD movie recording with sound at 1920x1080 pixels, all for an expected body-only price of $2699 USD. Unlike the original EOS 5D though the new model faces tough competition from Nikon and Sony. Find out all about the new features and how it compares to these rivals in our Canon EOS 5D Mark II preview.

Large Hadron Collider, More bad news. Unlikely to Restart till March - April '09
Unfortunately, the LHC has had further delays which could cause for a longer wait to get it up and running.
This is definitely disappointing to a lot of us who were eagerly waiting to see what the results would be.
Whilst the LHC may send particles around at nearly the speed of light, unfortunately the repair crew can't work anywhere near as fast.
The LHC Webpage has some more great information, (click the image below or follow THIS link - no its not the joke page)

JVC Everio GZ-HD40
The inexorable march away from tapes and discs has picked up steam in Camcorder Land—and this trend will continue until MiniDV and DVD home video makers take their place on the obsolete shelf next to Walkman cassette music players and analog televisions. This won’t happen overnight, but it’s happening right in front of our eyes as flash-based and hard disk drive camcorders win-over the public and take share from competing formats. Basically, it’s the iPod Phenomenon dramatically reshaping the camcorder biz. According to industry execs, tape and DVD cam sales are dropping while the new—and definitely cooler—formats take over. Almost all of the recent releases were memory card, flash or HDD based. And many of them are high-definition. I’m a big fan of high-def hard drive camcorders because their storage capabilities can’t be beat. It’s great not worrying if you have enough blank tape or DVDs for saving memories. And the small size and weight of flash-based models is also a winner. Finally, a high-definition camcorder is the only way to go, even though they’re much more expensive than SD ($799 USD is still about the cheapest, compared to $250 USD for MiniDV). With these preferences on the table, I was happy to test a new JVC HD Everio with a 120GB HDD. This high-def camcorder saves up to 15 hours of best-quality AVCHD video plus it performs several other unique tricks we’ll disclose on the following pages. Is it worth 1,300 clams? Read on, read on…
