A new hero!

So I kind of came on this part of the apple site:

Now, the for the banner, next to it being a kind of stupid pose I right clicked it and saw the name of the image, which made me laugh even more xD

 

Why in hell call this pic:

" (...) Macs than anything else,” says Cox. “I think that's because they're essentially UNIX, and that makes it very easy for everybody who's used UNIX in particle physics for the past 20 or 30 years. There's a huge code base. We're still using programs written in Fortran quite a lot—programs that were written in the '70s and '80s—and they compile directly on the Mac. It's very easy to do, as opposed to Windows, where it's just a pain to compile all the old legacy programs.” Part of the appeal is the level of control available through Mac OS X, he explains. “When you grow up as a physicist, certainly a particle physicist, you’ve grown up with terminals. And on a Mac, you can go in and type UNIX commands in a terminal window. It sounds really geeky, but physicists like that power. So I can't overestimate or overemphasize the usefulness of the Mac being a UNIX-based system.”
