Newly-Discovered Extrasolar Planet May Have Water and Life...

Exciting news came out today that astronomers from the European Southern Observatory discovered an extrasolar planet that orbits within the habitable zone of its sun. The habitable zone of a star system is the area around a star in which liquid water can exist on the surface of a planet. This new-found planet is significant because all other planets found in extrasolar systems are not capable of supporting liquid water or maintaining mild temperatures.

The 8-Core MacPro

I thought this was pretty cool: an 8-core MacPro desktop. I mean, it has eight 3.0 GHz processing cores! That's amazing! Never in history has there been something like this available to consumers. If you think 8 cores is amazing, just wait: Intel has promised to make a chip with ten times as many cores in the next five years.
