New Map of the CMB

Just read this article from The Guardian (the British one not the Bay Area one):

Pretty interesting stuff. They made some new discoveries. There's more dark matter in the universe than they thought and less dark energy. The most interesting stuff, however, is that the universe does not appear to be uniform in every direction. The article points out that this "rules out some versions of the expansion model but not all" but doesn't explain this further.
