And just like that, it was all over. Shortly after the well-known, always-informative Major Nelson announced that this year's upcoming Xbox Live update had officially opened its beta doors to the public, he soon followed up with a note saying it was already "full and no longer accepting sign-ups." For the lucky ones, though, the public beta will give them early access to a slew of anticipated Xbox Live features, such as personalized dashboard recommendations, improved category / discovery features and, best of all, a look at Internet Explorer on Microsoft's entertainment console. Sadly, Major Nelson didn't say whether or not there's going to be more spaces opening up soon, but we'll keep you in the loop if anything changes.

Earlier this month, scientists from CERN announced that they had found the theoretical particle called the Higgs Boson. The entire world knew they found it, but not many people actually knew what the Higgs is, or how it's discovered. Turns out it's a pretty difficult thing to do. First, you need a really, really big machine called a particle accelerator. That machine shoots streams of particles at one another until they collide. When they collide, the energy they give off is something in the ball park of the big bang (yes, that big bang), but much smaller.
