Interestingly if you plot say all the results from this year as a line graph, you can see dips and peaks which relate to the weekends. Does this imply that people were using IE at work and then Chrome at home?: http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-ww-daily-20120101-20120708
Here is a quick discussion on the increase in energies from Steve Myers, director for accelerators and Sergio Bertlucci, director for research:

Unfortunately due to the requirements of power from the French grid, the plan is to always switch off the LHC over the holiday period. What is interesting though is that we will have a Heavy Ion run (Pb on Pb) just before it is switched off - which will probably be at higher energies than last year.....

Also there was SLAC http://www.slac.stanford.edu/ and LEP http://hepwww.rl.ac.uk/public/bigbang/file9.html which were electron-positron colliders
++vote. It would seem quite a few people are interested in this from looking at the comments here :)
