90% of the Universe Found Hiding In Plain View
The Bad Astronomer writes "As much as 90% of previously hidden galaxies in the distant Universe have been found by astronomers using the Very Large Telescope in Chile. Previous surveys had looked for distant (10 billion light years away) galaxies by searching in a wavelength of ultraviolet light emitted by hydrogen atoms — distant young galaxies should be blasting out this light, but very few were detected. The problem is that the ultraviolet light never gets out of the galaxies, so we never see them. In this new study, astronomers searched a different wavelength emitted by hydrogen, and voila, ten times as many galaxies could be seen, meaning 90% of them had been missed before."
Except apple isn't being different, they moved to generic intel machines (with their own proprietary bits to ensure we can't replace some components like PCs), apple moved to unix, not exactly a new OS, they moved to mp3 players after most companies already have been in the field for years, they moved to cell phones long after other companies created the technology. Oh yeah, "think different" because we hope the sheep don't noticed everything we do has been done before, plus we're all gay.
Hey if it takes that many penis extensions for you to feel normal, that's cool man. We promise not to hold it against you. Obviously that isn't your real dick, cos you aint man enough to jump out there with a nick and pic. It'll be ok, the therapy group promises not to laugh as much tonight.
Oh, and your momma said not to be so mean to you tonight. I'll think about it!

offtopic? seriously? well I knew that, but ... not funny in the least?
Ok, not like my karma is going to take a hit or anything...
