The iComet

Phil jokes that this means Apple is spending way more than we thought on advertising, but let's be serious here-- the Universe is just reforming itself in the most beautiful, usable form possible. This comet designed by Apple in California.
Thanks, Dave!

Phil Plait over at Bad Astronomy (who I remember from the hilarious and sadly ended Penn Jillette podcast) has posted a picture of Comet...

Nope, here's what it really is (top left):

Apple's ad campaign is REALLY aggressive. But it is not THAT kind of aggressive.
The logo itself is the biggest ad they ever created.
Think about it. How many "apples" can you count in your F.O.V.?
I count ELEVEN.
Eleven "apples": one on the taskbar, one on the monitor, one on the mouse, one on the AirPort, one on the mouse connector, one on the iPod connector, one on the iPod, one on the iPod sock, one on the Remote, one on the keyboard and only God knows where I lost the eleventh one.
Huh yeah, the keyboard itself contains two "apples". 12.
THAT'S what I call aggressive advertising :D
That was one of my favorite episodes. And you spelled Penn's last name wrong.

It's the sun of Steve's home planet going supernova, just before he was put into a capsule and sent to Earth. The light from this event is finally reaching us.
Consider the evidence:
Steve is adopted.
Steve has superhuman powers.
Steve possesses a reality distortion field.
The only thing that can stop him is a piece of appleite, which is rumored to be in the possession of one Bill Gates, or as I like to call him, Lex.
Oh my God... you're insane.
I love this site.
No the part you forgot was "Assembled in China"
