Space Oddities
By Gearhead, NetworkWorld.com, 07/29/05
Ice lake found on Mars (great photo) and the solar system apparently has a new planet (no, not that one, this one).
But what to call the new planet? Our favorite comment from a Slashdot thread on that topic:
How about "Vista"?
After all:
* It's been rumored to exist for a long time (under a different name)
* It's supposed to be "bigger and brighter" than what everyone is choosing to compare it to
* It doesn't even really exist yet, but people are already proclaiming the "death" of its nearest competitor
* We know nothing about it, except that it's supposed to be [ooh] "shiny" and that [it] is quite a long way off
