So, it's Sunday, oh what a fun day. Not. Currently hunting around various news sites for stories worthy of the mighty Red Pill, I found several, so here are a selection... Firstly, in some rather unsurprising science news, apparently modern man had sex with neanderthals, across the species barrier, according to the research of Professor Svaante Paabo. The two species lived alongside another 30,000 years ago, for around 10-12,000 years. Further research on the neanderthal genome sequence will reveal if this had a permanent effect or not. The whole thing sounds what usually I usually observe when I go out for a night in Manchester, if you ask me.
The much anticipated release of Windows 7 last Thursday has made the news everywhere, as the successor to the much-maligned Vista broke all sales records for Microsoft, giving a lot of IT companies a huge boost in the process, particularly PC manfacturers threatened by the rising sales of Apple Mac computers that has taken place this year, which has partly been attributed to the weaknesses of the old Microsoft platform. The new operating system has multi-touch screen functionality, is great for easy home networking, is apparently a lot less annoying than Vista. Happy days.
And in good news in the world of medicine and biology, a gel has been developed that can stop the spread of HIV/Aids as well as a condom. Researchers at the University of Utah have developed the gel, which would be ideal for use in countries where family planning is not openly discussed. I'm personally all for any measures that can be taken to stop this easily preventable disease in its' tracks, so that sounds great to me.
