Great. And now we really have no excuse for not visiting the planning office.

Great. And now we really have no excuse for not visiting the planning office. On the other hand, an exoplanet we could reach with a probe in my lifetime is one hell of a birthday present! Originally shared by SETI Institute Exoplanet Found in Nearest Star System to Earth European astronomers have discovered a planet with about the mass of the Earth orbiting a star in the Alpha Centauri system — the nearest to Earth. It is also the lightest exoplanet ever discovered around a star like the Sun. The planet was detected using the HARPS instrument on the 3.6-metre telescope at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile. The results will appear online in the journal Nature on 17 October 2012. The Aliens may not be too far. http://www.eso.org/public/news/eso1241/ http://www.eso.org/public/news/eso1241/

Cory explains how and why the Humble Bundle works.

Cory explains how and why the Humble Bundle works. What he does not mention is that a similarish scheme run by Baen Books has also been working extremely well. Short  form: Treat your customers like they are honest, and most of them will be. Oh, and the Baen addendum? Pusher tactics work.
