Ars Acne

So I'm browsing Ars Technica, a geek news site, and they recently introduced three blogs, one about games, one about Microsoft, and one about Apple. They list the titles of the latest entries from all three blogs on their front news page. Most of the entries today were quite typical:

  • Windows XP SP3 coming
  • Gamefly takes a public swipe at chain video game stores
  • Apple finally confirms (very, very) quiet Mac mini upgrade

You know, the usual. But then I see this:

I was like, WTF?!?! Pimple treatments on Ars?! But then it turns out it's some kind of electrical device that triggers a "heat shock response" in the P. acnes bacterium. Wackiness.

Of course, the fact that it's an electrical gadget still doesn't explain why it was in the gaming blog. The answer to that I shall leave as an exercise for the reader.
