Great news everyone computers were used to do that thing that everyone's talking about! Aren't we so cool that something we talk about everyday is used in other things? I just get so excited when I think that the little machine that I've got on my lap now could be used for amazing scientific discoveries. Nobel Prize here I come!

Agreed. It is just like saying that pens and paper had an important role in the discovery... Great news.

Not just computers though, a computer with an open source operating system that most hackers on this site would like to see more adoption of. This is a triumph for the open source community. (Not to impugn their previous achievements of course, this just goes with the current trend being the Higgs potential discovery)
