I don't get it... other than the colors being different, and the resolution being better, the new image on the left looks just like the old one on the right, just not as "close up". I don't see any changes in shape.

Can somebody point out the changes they're talking about? Maybe I'm not as sharp-eyed as y'all...

You mean to tell me there were no “naughty bits” behind the blacked-out section in the upper right hand corner?
