Scientists involved in a historic "Big Bang" experiment to begin this week hope it will turn up many surprises about the universe and its origins -- but reject suggestions it will bring the end of the world.The world's most powerful particle accelerator will be launched on Wednesday (September 10) at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), based in Geneva. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is in an underground ring tunnel of 27 kilometres (17 miles) beneath the French-Swiss border. Scientists will recreate conditions just after what was known as "The Big Bang" by colliding two beams of particles at close to the speed of light in a bid to understand the origins of the universe. Critics say the $9 billion dollar project is a doomsday machine that could destroy the planet. They fear the experiment could generate black holes that could gobble up the earth - a theory CERN scientists reject.Helen Long reports from Reuters.

Google Launched the "beta" version of it's long anticipated Chrome Browser yesterday, Sept. 1, 2008. Google Chrome, one of the worst kept secrets in modern computing, promises to provide faster browsing, and an easy to understand environment. While those benefits might help us consumers right now, Google's long term strategy behind Chrome is to better support web-based applications, and of course, to get a foothold on our desktops. Yes, it can be said that Google Chrome is Google's first serious attempt to chip away at the desktop operating system, like Windows and even Mac OS. The future, as Google sees it, is a search-based world, and they are either just plain right, or it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Either way, Google wins.

When new brake pads are needed, they must be replaced within reasonable time.  Most consumers make such timely repairs, but the brake pads currently used leave many drivers in doubt of the quality of their brake shoes, and some question the sincerity of their mechanics, as well.  The Visual Wear Brake Pad can restore consumer confidence, and consumer auto safety, as well.http://www.newproductsnetwork.com/visualwearbrakepads/index.htm

iPhone 3G - You Can Buy It But You Cant Use It.You would think that after six months of nearly nonstop iPhone hype, Apple would have been ready for the big day when it finally came. But soon after the iPhone 3G went on sale in the Eastern time zone this morning, Apple’s iTunes registration system collapsed, leaving buyers with unusable phones. Nearly four hours later, the systems were still down. The problems also prevented upgrades of original iPhones or the iPod Touch to the new version 2.0 software.There were also reports that AT&T activation was failing and that, contrary to announced policy, customers were being allowed to leave stores with unactivated phones. Computerworld reported problems in the UK, where carrier O2's Web-based activation process required the use of Microsoft's Windows-only Internet Explorer browser. Apple stores had to scramble to set up Windows virtual; machines on their Macs to get customers activated. All in all, a rough start for the biggest launch event since, well, the original iPhone launch a bit more than a year ago.
