The app, which goes along with the new Evangelion movies, looks like the power countdown whenever one of the Eva robots goes on battery mode. Normally it displays the current time (military time, naturally), but you can also set it to count down anywhere from 30 to 1 minute.

Once the counter hits the minute mark it goes into "racing" mode, which then turns into super crazy red light mode when you get under 10 seconds. After that, you get killed by angels. The only downside is that the time is always displayed at a weird angle so you can only effectively read the time when your phone is in landscape mode. It also costs $3!

There's also a stamp app that's not quite as cool. All it does is give you a bunch of EVA things you can place over your own photos. Here's me with a Rei haircut generating an AT-field and telekinetically holding a knife. Oh and check out that huge necklace.

This time they only steered the particles around the full 16.7-mile circumference of the underground facility. Nevertheless, the personnel involved in the test cheered in ecstasy as the multi-billion-dollar facility actually demonstrated that it was fully armed and operational:

It’s a fantastic moment, we can now look forward to a new era of understanding about the origins and evolution of the universe.

LHC project leader Lyn Evans

“The LHC is a discovery machine, its research programme has the potential to change our view of the Universe profoundly, continuing a tradition of human curiosity that’s as old as mankind itself.

CERN Director General Robert Aymar

Following these beam tests—more will be coming in the next hours—the facility will prepare for the first heads-on collision later in the year. [CERN]

Yes. It looks like we are still alive. The first ignition of the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland, is now underway and nothing has happened yet. But there's a simple reason for that, one that I realized two days ago and I didn't have time to actually write about until today: we got it all wrong. Everyone got it wrong.

We knew for sure that today was not the actual End of the World Day. Nothing—nothing according to Stephen Hawking—is going to happen when the the Large Hadron Collider tries to actually make those pesky particles to collide. But the fact is that today, you, my dear hadronmongers, it is not the day the collision was supposed to happen.

Today it's just the first beam test, not the actual first collision. That's programmed to happen on October 21, 2008. So all those stupid morons writing to us and CERN scientist will probably keep rambling for two more months.

As for the normal people, you can think about it as another extension to your life. In other words: You have two more months to find Uma Thurman/Brad Pitt/Richard Simmons and 1) convince her/him/it that the world is going to end and 2) you are the best lay there is to have before that happens.

Not bad if you really want to keep track of all your upcoming events, but kinda depressing to know that we're going to die in 49 years, 8 hours, 27 minutes and 10 seconds. – Jason Chen
