    I do not understand how people can see the beauty in the cosmos and doubt the creator.

    In lieu of being banned I will not go into any vivid descriptions, but if that amazing hubble photo was a Rorschach ink blot test, my answer would be NSFW.

    Oh that headline is so true.

    Huh. When viewing from the iPhone, Safari takes me to the mobile gizmodo site where strangely enough the wallpaper images do not show up. Care to explain Giz?

    @Modano: Calling them "wallpapers" is misleading. If I select images for my desktop's desktop and they disappear when I unlock the screen to get back to work....I call that a screensaver. To get true wallpapering on the iphone ya gotta jailbreak.

    @Pixelologist, Esq.: Yeah, but the iPhone calls it wallpaper so the terminology makes sense if you own and use an iphone. Click on an image in photos and the option is not "Use as screensaver" it is "Use as wallpaper"

    @Pixelologist, Esq.: "Wallpaper" is Apple's term for the image that appears on that screen, not mine. If you want to get pedantic, "wallpaper" is a misleading term for what you're talking about too since there's no wall or paper involved. :)

    @Modano: lol. Well, that's a little overly pedantic even for me. I just get a little peeved every now and again at Apple for the ridiculous extent to which they've locked everything down on the iphone.
