Pluto's moon is not bigger than Pluto. If it were then Pluto would be the moon. So with the demotion we are down to 8 known planets.

Well, what do you expect... computer science is one of those industries where you can copy a product... so they have the right too. I would spend that much money to do that (than sue the companies that copy me and make a profit out of my legal matters :D)

than on research and development of new products

Ha, that explains apple losing it's edge. If the iphone 6 fails or 5s, i am going samsung mobile!

They say that if you electrocute the brain, your math skills are increased dramatically (look at Einstein if you know what I mean).

kinda.

George Sisler held the record for the most hits in a season (257 hits) until Ichiro Suzuki surpass it by 5 hits (262 hits).

Solar cells are picky. If the incoming photon has too little energy, the cell won’t absorb it. If the photon has too much, the excess is wasted as heat. Today's best solar cells have the efficiency of 25%.

Antimatter is considered to be one of the strongest sources of energy on the planet. If you build a weapon out of antimatter, a small pinch of antimatter (theoritically) can wipe out a state in the US.
