  Skull implies humans-neanderthal interbreeding 2007-01-16 12:58 Homr Zodyssey

Submitted by Homr Zodyssey on Tuesday January 16 2007, @12:58PM
Homr Zodyssey writes "The AP is reporting about a fossil skull that exhibits Neanderthal features as well as human ones. Science Daily ran a similar story back in November. From TFA:

Some scientists argue Neanderthals were slaughtered or out-competed by ancestors of modern humans, but NGN said the new research, suggests a more intimate relationship, with Neanderthals becoming absorbed into the human race through interbreeding.

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Tuesday January 16 2007, @11:08AM
An anonymous reader writes "THE wonders of the skies are now available on the web after the launch of an online astronomy service in Manchester. Italian academic Dr Gianluca Masi's new website called Virtual Telescope allows subscribers to log on and view the sun, moon and stars for around £7 an hour. After users have pinpointed details of what they wish to look at on an online map, four high-powered telescopes located at the Bellatrix Astronomical Observatory in Ceccano, central Italy, automatically focus on the subject."

  PDAs: The Death of Marital Sex 2007-01-16 10:42 zyl0x

Submitted by zyl0x on Tuesday January 16 2007, @10:42AM
zyl0x writes "Forbes.com has an article online detailing the PDA industry's detrimental effect on married couple's sex lives. The article quotes a clinical psychologist who has coined the term "DINS couples" (double income, no sex), and explains how constant office connectivity can destroy what little chance us IT-types have with our wives. From the aritcle:
"...employees in contact with work outside of normal work hours are more often highly overworked than those with little or no contact. What does this mean for constantly connected couples? According to therapists and psychologists, around-the-clock access to the office often results in fatigue, a lack of intimacy, resentment, increased conflict and even premature career burnout."

Not that many of us have a sex life to lose, but maybe these Black- and Blueberries are the ultimate cause?"

pragueexpat writes "Do we have free will? Apparently not, according to an article in the new issue of the Economist. Entitled "Free to choose?", the shocker is this sentence: "The British government, though, is seeking to change the law in order to lock up people with personality disorders that are thought to make them likely to commit crimes, before any crime is committed.""
