An AP investigation suggests that America’s nuclear power plants and safety policies have not aged well: The once-rural areas around the plants have become far more crowded and difficult to evacuate, and the plants themselves are running at higher power and thus pose more of a risk in the event…

There’s a heated debate going on in the exciting world of mathematics that pits notoriously irrational pi against relative newcomer tau. Wherever side of the fence your math club’s allegiance may lie, a quick listen to Michael Blake’s newest nerd composition could have your circle singing a different equation . Perhaps spurred by the copyright brouhaha that yanked his earlier musical extrapolation — What Pi Sounds Like — from the YouTubes, Blake set this interpretation of the controversial constant to 126 decimal places and let’er rip at 125.6 bpm. What follows is a not-unpleasant symphony that should have Bjork’s producers calling for a collaboration. Full video for the prog-rock nation after the break.

Turns out those leaked shots we saw of Sony’s new VAIO Z laptop were right on the money as the company showed it off officially today for the European press. The specs reveal a 13.1-inch “ultramobile” notebook that comes in at under 1.2kg with a 2.7GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM, 1600×900 screen and sheet battery borrowed from the earlier VAIO S for up to 7 hours of computing. Onboard it features only Intel’s HD Graphics 3000 solution, but the VAIO Z beats other ultralights with its Power Media Dock, which contributes the power of an AMD Radeon 6650M GPU with 1GB of dedicated memory connected via Light Peak when more polygons have to be pushed. The dock also features one USB 3.0 hookup plus additional USB, VGA and HDMI ports, and a slot for an optical drive. There’s no word on price yet, but it is promised to ship by the end of July in Europe so if the full specs (included after the break) are appealing then you don’t have much time to save up.
