Can you imagine the quakes that caused mountains to shoot up? MAkes me, as a human feel very, very un important, and in the grand scheme of things we probaly are. The Indonesian earthquake the spawned the Tsunami a few years ago did the same thing, changing the shape of the earth making it more oval than round. I also heard that the island of Japan moved several feet to the east as a result of the earthquake. Very cool stuff but like Robert said makes you feel very very insignificant.
craziness. wow

8.8 in Feb of 2010.
Geophysical impact
Seismologists estimate that the earthquake was so powerful that it may have shortened the length of the day by 1.26 microseconds and moved the Earth's figure axis by 8 cm or 2.7 milliarcseconds.[52][53] Precise GPS measurement indicated the telluric movement moved the entire city of Concepción 3.04 meters (10 ft) to the west. The capital Santiago experienced a displacement of almost 24 centimeters (10 in) west, and even Buenos Aires, about 1,350 kilometres (840 mi) from Concepción,[54] shifted 3.9 centimeters (1.5 in).[55][56] It is estimated that Chile's territory could have expanded 1.2 km² as a result.[57]
The earthquake also caused seiches to occur in Lake Pontchartrain to the north of New Orleans, United States, located nearly 7,500 kilometres (4,700 mi) from the epicenter of the quake.[58]

Damn, earthquakes don't fuck around. Pretty much the OGs of natural disasters.

Yeah. When they move entire cities 10ft, you know they're here to fuck shit up.

"Apple is breaking the rules in terms of its pricing model," he told Reuters by telephone. "It's doing what luxury brands do, where the higher price the brand is, the more it seems to underpin and reinforce the desire."

So he is comparing Apple to a Ferrari? Maybe if they worked as well as a Ferrari they would get even more sales.
