[...] HÃ¨hÃ¨, de weergoden hebben mij vijf minuten Holmes gegund.Â Het was vanavond eventjes helder, tot wolkenvelden de boel weer verknalden. VanafÂ m’n zolderraam, met uitzicht op het noordoosten,Â kon ik komeet 17/P Holmes goed zien. Een soort bolvormige sterrenhoop, maar dan al zo met het blote oog te zien. Bijgaand een foto die ik nog net kon nemen, voordat links de wolken overtrokken. Â Er schijnt overigens ook een staart zichtbaar te zijn, eentje die ‘m erg doet lijken op het Applelogo.

“Hello, I’m a Mac.”

“And I’m a PC.”

“And I’m a comet.”

Don’t even kid yourselves, folks, you’d LOVE to see that one!

Peri … perid … pareidolia … somethin’ like that. I read about it on this Astronomer dude’s website.

I noticed that!

Geez, everything sure is rolling Apple’s way. They even have the universe revolving around them.

Wow… if it’s an apple comet, corporate policy will probably block it from half the world. iComet will start up and charge everyone who can see the comet a dollar every time they look. It will cost extra to look through a telescope, and if you go to a friend’s house, it won’t show up in his telescope unless you pay a dollar.

At the peak of brightness, Apple will cancel the comet and it will simply disappear.

All the while this is going on, Microsoft will copyright the moon and add an application WinMoon to Vista.

Perhaps this lends some credibility to the recent assertion that there’s a twenty percent chance we’re all just pawns in somebody else’s simulation.

Could it be that we’re seeing the back of our overlord’s laptop screen!?

If God is a Mac user, that just gives me another reason to be an atheist.

“Golden Apples of the Sun”? I remember that short story from my youth. It was one of the first books that got my imagination soaring. Thanks for the good thought from an innocent youth.

Also a good story, recommend it for those who can find it.

> We must live in an iUniverse.

The only problem being that we can’t just nip down to the iStore and buy a whole new one when there’s a relatively simple flaw that could be quickly repaired…

Comet: harbinger of doom.

Comet shaped like the Apple logo: Maybe we should all just give up computing entirely.
