For quite a while Computerworld has wanted to join the blogging fray, but we didn’t want to cover the same ICT ground we cover weekly in print and daily online.

So, after much pondering, we decided that seeing as we cover the ”technology„ part of ”science and technology„, why not dip our toes into the ”science„ part as well.

Ernest_Rutherford2.jpgThe name Half-life is a doffing of our collective caps to New Zealand’s most famous scientific export, Ernest Rutherford. In his spare time between splitting the atom and transmuting elements, Rutherford discovered the half life of radioactive material.

So here we are. This blog is also another kind of first for Computerworld - it’s the first time we’ve had comments on the website. So get into it. But be warned - in a very old media way, they will be moderated!

So let’s kick this off with some quick links:

The end of the world is nigh, just 7.6 billion years away

A computer from 65BC

Hubble gets a boost from a nearby galaxy to discover the farthest ones yet seen

And yes, oh yes, oh yes, proof of the G-spot!

Trust the Italians to find it.

Wont Valve go all 'legal' if they see the name Half-life (the name of their most successful game) being used by someone not associated to Valve or Steam ?

I don't expect so. Trademarks are awarded in categories and games are in a different category from publications. Also we are clearly not trying to pass ourselves off.

(If you haven't left a comment here before, we'll need to approve it before it appears. Thanks for your patience.)
