I dont have the good link, but a friend of mine with access to several journals verified, faster than light IN ATMOSPHERE (which is where they beamed the neutrinos. through the atmosphere). Its mildly interesting (neutrinos dont interact with the atmosphere) but it ISNT big news, some reporter who thought they knew what they were talking about heard about it and blew it out of proportion.
