"This chart was shown at the official NikonD3s launch event in Beijing – you can see the Nikon logo at the top right corner. Nikons pro DSLRs outsell Canons big time. Not sure if this data is only for China or worldwide. I am surprised by the large % of D3x sales (dark blue bars). I think in few months the D3s will make this graph look even worse (for Canon that is)." - Holger Eilhard from Bookmarklet

Did the D3x really take 40% of the pro market the first month it was available? As a Canon shooter, I hope this lights a fire under their ass to bring us something more appealing! - Brian Johns

"The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) says it expects to restart the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by this weekend after more than a year of repairs. The 27 km (17 mi) particle accelerator was launched last year, but suffered a failure from a faulty electrical connection, damaging 53 of the smasher's 9,300 superconducting magnets. Repairs are now completed, and the plan is to begin injecting protons into the LHC this weekend, on the path to search for particles such as predicted-yet-unobserved Higgs Boson. Collected below are some photographs of the repairs, and of the LHC and some of its experiments in various stages of construction." - Holger Eilhard from Bookmarklet
