Multiple blasts paralyse London: "Many people are injured in explosions on the Underground network and a double decker bus in London." [BBC News | World | UK Edition] I was just leaving for my daily bicycle ride when my wife said to come and watch the news. I could not enjoy my ride as usual. I was biking in the woods near the Nuuksio national park in solitude, in fine weather and with no other people nearby, but every once in a while my thoughts returned to the incident.

Canon IXUS 700 seven megapixel digicam: "Before you even think about buying this camera you have to ask yourself one key question: do you really need seven million pixels in a compact digital camera?" [The Register] I have a three year old Ixus 400, and I'm still pleased with it. I agree with the review - having a 7 megapixel resolution would not significantly improve the camera for my purposes.

Neanderthal Genome May Be Reconstructed: "German and U.S. scientists have launched a project to reconstruct the Neanderthal genome, the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology said Wednesday." I read on my vacation the science fiction books "Darwin's Radio" and "Darwin's Children" by Greg Bear. These were based on speculation about ancient human genes. The truth may be stranger than fiction, perhaps.
