No speakers though. It just ain't the same, IMO. and iPod docks are pretty goofy.

Hopefully it all works out for her. The entire thing seems like a farce to me, really.

It just doesn't work out, waving an iPod about your head, I guess.

That's really nice. It reminds me of some of the Dandy Warhols' late 90's stuff.

I thought the premise behind the Higgs was that it was part of a process that gave a particle it's mass, therefore being instrumental in the way the universe operates. I guess it's all a bit uncertain, shall we say?

As someone with low level of comprehension about quantum physics, I must ask a question: does this mean that we still do not know what gives particles mass? If so, what are the implications for modern science if the Boson doesn't exist?

Perry is indeed an interesting character - and not in a good way.

There's the investments that look like scams, the Democratic past, the evangelical cult background, and then there's the serious possibility that he could win government with his charming face and tight grip on the bible.

The 2012 elections will be interesting too. And again, not in the good way.
