Apple stop supporting Mac OS X Tiger

Computer users remem Mac Operating System Mac OS X Tiger should be facing a great dilemma after Apple stopped supporting this version of your OS.

Historically the company has maintained support for the two latest versions of their OSes, which in the case relate to Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) and Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), retiring to version 10.4 of Mac OS X (Tiger).

The problem is that current users of Macs based on PowerPC processors can not update their equipment to Snow Leopard (because it only supports Intel processors), so to continue receiving security updates and patches to their computers necessarily should upgrade to Leopard .

This at first glance but it is quite logical in reality is somewhat complex because Apple no longer sells in its stores Leopard, so that interested parties must go to facilities or secondhand stores still remain smaller than their inventory, who have begun to raise its price seeing growing demand in recent weeks.

The Large Hadron Collider is sabotaged by a dove

Apparently someone continues to wag with the people responsible for operating the Large Hadron Collider which is already more than a year late. This time a piece of bread that fell into the ventilation system caused the system to overheat.

That is, there was a leak of helium, a software error, terrorist or time travelers. It was a piece of bread that was originally part of a baguette and drop it apparently divine dove into the system.

Cooling systems are located to keep the collider operating at a temperature of 1.9 above absolute zero. As soon there is a small increase in temperature the super-conducting magnets stop working and blocking antifallen into operation.

This does not mean that the world will end because of a dove, but the Large Collider will be offline until a few days before its scheduled restart this month.
