It's written about on wiki:

"A strong indicator of physical beauty is "averageness". When images of human faces are averaged together to form a composite image, they become progressively closer to the "ideal" image and are perceived as more attractive. This was first noticed in 1883, when Francis Galton, cousin of Charles Darwin, overlayed photographic composite images of the faces of vegetarians and criminals to see if there was a typical facial appearance for each. When doing this, he noticed that the composite images were more attractive, than as compared to any of the individual images. Researchers have replicated the result under more controlled conditions and found that the computer generated, mathematical average of a series of faces is rated more favorably than individual faces."

Can you have an apple OS on a pc?

Like, when I get my new laptop. Can I install an apple os on it? or Do i have to buy a mac to have it?

Answer
Kind of. Mac's O.S. is called "Darwin". http://www.opendarwin.info/opendarwin.org/en/

Having said that, that is the Operating System. The Windowing System is called Aqua, and I am not sure if it is included in the open source version. I think when you are saying "Operating System" you are not distinguishing between the two and may expec to get Aqua too.

Apple now sells computers that are Intel based PCs (you can run Windows on them, if you wanted to). If you buy an apple, it can run both MacOS X (i.e. Darwin) and Windoze.
