Large Hadron Collider turned on, world still here!

... which was nice. Unfortunately they also made this: Great way to explain the project or painful attempt at engaging the 'yoof'?  I hated the concept but actually didn't mind it so much when I listened to it. I think I may have unintentionally learnt something too... Sly...

More interesting launches and ships on the horizon

September 9th, 2008 by Dave@LGUK
 
Like Chris, I've been very impressed with Google's launch of Chrome but I also wanted to comment on Spore's SporeVote - where another canny move was made, launch-wise. SporeVote launched a week before the release of the widely anticipated game, giving people the opportunity to submit the characters they've made through the Creature Creator (released in June to give a glimpse at some of the characters you'll be able to create in-game) and get extra buzz. To celebrate the launch of the Spore Creature Creator, we found 75 of the most creative innovators from around the world and asked them to create...

Google Chrome launches via a comic

September 2nd, 2008 by Dave@LGUK
 
I've got to admit, I think Google have just raised the bar for product launches. Their new web browser, Google Chrome, isn't just interesting because it's yet another new entrant; it didn't seem long ago the world was destined to have one browser, but now Chrome enters a crowded marketplace, alongside Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera and many more. Google think they can do better than what's out there right now, especially with the growth of web applications and the demands they have on the standard browser environment. Chrome isn't out yet - and when it is it will be on...
