To be fair, I also have to tip my hat to Microsoft and the improved way its new Windows XP operating system handles digital pictures. But Apple's iPhoto clearly sets the standard. It is absolutely the easiest, fastest and most intuitive way I've seen to import pictures from my camera and then organize, display, share, print and distribute them by e-mail.

The team, led by Toronto zoologist Dr. Locke Rowe, has identified a sexual "arms race" between male and female water striders, the spider-like bugs that shoot across the tops of ponds. In this race, every mutation that helps the amorous male spread his seed, such as stronger arms to hold her down, is matched by a mutation in the female that helps her fend him off. In this case, she develops spikes on her abdomen to get in his way. The researchers' work is the first piece of direct evidence for the shadowy phenomenon of sexually antagonistic co-evolution, which has long been predicted in theory."
