A Planet Similar to the Earth was Discovered

 I read this article about the planet similar to the earth was discovered. I believed there are some planets to people live. When I found this article, I was excited.
 Artists discovered three planets, called HD 40307b, c, and d. These planets are similar to the earth about orbits, size, and temprature, but its surface is molten lava. If surface congeal, we can live their planets. I think we can live in there, but it can be a more future. Scientists found five more planets, but they still have not tested about them, they will use new technology. If while I am living, can go to these plants, I want to go there.

Six Theories for the Possible Short Lines on iPad Mini LaunchDay

 When iPad mini started to sell, people could not see many people in an apple store, but Fortune's Philip Elmer-Dewitt who is relying on actual headcounts, says that there may be near-record turnous. But if it is true that this launch is less of a circus than most Apple-product days, it has reasons.
1. The iPad Mini just isn't that interesting. I think it is fact, because large screen is better than mini screen, it is convenoence to see a something.
2. It is interesting, but not so much to the hardcore Apple fans who wait in lines on one day. He said people don't need two iPads which means a lot of people who need iPad have already had iPad their two iPad's contents are almost same, so they don't need it.
3. People are waiting for the second-generation iPad Mini. This is not a but strategy. I agree this thinking.
4. Everyone wants a cellular iPad Mini. They won't be available for another two weeks or so.
5. Everyone got smart and ordered online. This is a best way to buy an iPod, because I don't need to go early morning at the store and don't need to stand in line.
6. The iPad Mini is a quick sell. An iphone involves paperwork, activations and other complications. An iPad Mini is almost same, so relatively painless.
 Dewitt said I guess "turnout for the iPad Mini was low" theory.
