--------
Many astronomers have speculated that the peculiar distribution of certain forms of gamma-rays in our galaxy, the Milky Way, may be evidence to support the presence of some form of undetectable â€œdark matter,â€ which influences its spread patterns. But these theories are disproved by two new scientific papers, one of which appears in the July 10th issue of the journal Physical Review Letters. Experts confirm that the weird disposition is caused by the path that â€œantimatter positronsâ€ take through the galaxy, as they are propelled at high speeds.

TECHC: Bing Leapfrogs Yahoo Search Again
--------
New stats from monitoring service StatCounter suggests that for the second time since its launch, Microsoft's Bing has surpassed Yahoo Search as the most used search engine in the United States. Shortly after publicly debuting the new service, Bing already jumped over Yahoo Search - if only for one day - which many attributed to the launch momentum. But Bing has proven to be a very solid product that many seem keen to try out even after a month.nnAccording to the new data, Bing took 12.9% of the US market like comScore had earlier measured. With the strong jump, Bing comes out ahead of Yahoo Search (10.15%), while Mountain View remains the undisputed king of the mountain with a US market share of 75%.
