The funeral was held yesterday (24 January 2022) for Professor Juris Reinfelds, one of the landmark pioneers of computer science and the last survivor of a team that made Wollongong a global brand.

Infrastructure automation solutions provider Puppet has announced a malware scanner feature for newly published modules on its module marketplace, the Forge, in order to combat security risks and increase the security profile of customers using those modules.

Microsoft often likes to portray itself as a company that supports education and research, but that appears to be just a pose, with the company showing its real colours recently when it stripped the European Organisation for Nuclear Research of the status of "academic institution".

Microsoft's revocation of the "academic institution" status granted to the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, better known as CERN, has led to the organisation deciding to get rid of software sold by the Redmond behemoth in order to avoid lock-in and to keep its costs down.

Storage vendor Seagate Technology has partnered with the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, CERN openlab,  to collaborate on the development of its ‘’breakthrough” Kinetic Open Storage platform.

Oracle has released a new version of its GoldenGate data integration product. GoldenGate 12c supports a wider range of databases and big data systems.

Rackspace is working with CERN openlab to deploy federated cloud infrastructure.

Those high-achieving atom smashing scientists at CERN have brought the first website ever made back from the dead.

We most often hear about how many music tracks have been downloaded from the iTunes Store, but Apple has reached a milestone of a different kind: one billion pieces of educational content have been downloaded from iTunes U.

The head of the European research team that suggested neutrinos may be able to travel faster than light has resigned.

It seems the error in the recent neutrino experiment has been discovered, Einstein can finally stop rolling in his grave.

A recent experiment suggested that neutrinos may be able to travel faster than light.  The scientists who conducted the experiment did not believe the result, but were unable to find an error with the experiment.

Preliminary data from the ATLAS experiment at CERN suggests the Higgs Boson has been identified.

IBM has agreed to acquire of Platform Computing, a Canadian company that specialises in management software for clusters and grids. IBM officials describe the acquisition as "strategic".

Based on a leaked note, rumours are flying that the ATLAS detector at the LHC has detected the Higgs Boson.  Experts are sceptical.

International researchers at INFN's Gran Sasso laboratory and CERN's Super Proton Synchrotron have observed directly for the first time a tau-neutrino particle in a pure muon-neutrino beam. The discovery provides scientists with another piece of the puzzle as to how the Universe operates.

In the past few minutes, CERN has reported successful collisions at 7 TeV.

Officials at CERN have announced the date in which the beginning of the physics program will begin at the Large Hadron Collider. In other words, the first collisions of two oppositely-directed particle beams with energies of 3.5 TeV per beam will be attempted, for a combined energy of 7 tera-electron volts (TeV).

On March 19, 2010, CERN's Large Hadron Collider set a new world mark when it circulated two proton beams, each at 3.5 TeV. The next step is to collide these two beams as they go at such tremendous energies. What a collision!
