what created the universe

also your ipod one is WORNG

iPod is not an acronym, so it doesn't 'stand for' anything. It is simply the product name Apple chose for its line of portable media players, to fit in alongside its other consumer-oriented products: iMac, iBook, iLife (iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD), iWork, etc.

The 'i' product line started with the iMac in 1998, which was originally intended to suggest 'internet Mac,' but the 'i' gradually evolved into a prefix which suggests a personal connection (as in I, me) to technology products.

lol where did you get tht info from?
The “i” is a common part of names that Apple gave products at the time the iPod was released – iMac, iBook, iPhoto, iTunes, etc. Some say that “i” stood for “internet,” though that doesn’t quite seem to ring true in all instances.
“Pod,” according to some sources, stands for “portable open database,” the name of the software that runs the iPod.

Yes, your iPod answer is wrong. Why on EARTH would they call it internet Pod when it had no internet connectivity when released, and still doesn't (with the exception of the touch)

also, answer this please.
Jean Luc, a professional painter, decided to try something a little different. He decided to create a mathematical work of art. He divides a square piece of canvas into nine equal squares and paints the central square red. He then divides each of the remaining eight squares into nine equal squares, painting each of the eight central squares so formed yellow. The remaining squares are again each divided into nine, the centers this time being painted blue. This process is continued using a different color for each new set of central squares until over half of the original area of the canvas has been painted with paint. How many different colors have been used and how many central squares have been painted?
