"Adam," "Eve," and why they never got married.
In a recent Panda's Thumb comment thread, Pam asked (among other things) about our human species genetic Adam and Eve: I have been reading for the last few years now, that there is a consensus among the majority, that humans have been genetically traced to a two human ancestory: A genetic "Adam and Eve".

KDE 4.0.4 Out Now, Codenamed File-Not-Found
Another month, another update to the KDE 4.0 series. This time, we are presenting KDE 4.0.4, dubbed File-Not-Found to the audience. KDE 4.0.4 brings improvements to KHTML, Okular and various other components. We recommend that people who are already running KDE 4.0 releases update to 4.0.4. The emphasis of this release lies, as usual in stabilising, bugfixing, performance improvements and updated translations -- no new features. The developers have again squashed quite some bugs which you can find some of in the changelog. With this release, the KDE community continues to support the KDE 4.0 series that has been released for brave users earlier this year. KDE 4.1, to be released this summer (in the northern-hemisphere) will bring new features and applications. KDE 4.1 is based on the recently released Qt 4.4 while KDE 4.0.4 is still based on Qt 4.3 as is the case with the whole KDE 4.0 series. So put on your update shoes and install 4.0.4 today.
Big Buck Bunny Builds a Better Blender
Linux.com: "Big Buck Bunny is the colorful product of the Peach open movie project: an animated short released online and on DVD. But in addition to the 'toon itself, Peach has produced an altogether different yield: improvements to the Blender 3-D modeling application. Like its predecessor Project Orange, Peach pushed the open source tool forward with the demands of a real-world media production, in a way that hobbyist usage cannot. Could other free software projects use the same model?"

IBM bundles middleware on Linux systems
IBM on Tuesday said it wants to free desktops from Microsoft software, announcing an alliance with Linux vendors to preload its middleware on Linux distributions.
IBM said it has reconfigured its Lotus Foundations software -- which includes Lotus Notes, Sametime and Symphony -- to preload on Linux distributions like Red Hat, Ubuntu and Novell's Suse Linux. The repackaging makes the middleware easier and cheaper to install on Linux PCs, IBM said.
The easy availability of collaboration tools could trigger businesses to switch to Linux, considering Windows Vista adoption has been stagnant, IBM executives said in a press conference at the Linuxworld conference in San Francisco.
Citing Linux as a low-cost operating system compared to Windows, IBM hopes that preloading the tools on Linux could also help break Microsoft's stranglehold on the SMB market with its Small Business Server software.
"There hasn't been a choice for the ... space besides the Microsoft SBS offering," said Jeff Smith, vice president of open source and Linux middleware, during the press conference. IBM hopes its implementation could bring its Domino server products to more SMB infrastructures.
Deployment of the software, which is partly open-sourced and private-sourced, is as easy as a few clicks, especially for small and medium-size businesses that don't have the IT infrastructure of large organizations, IBM's Smith said.
It also saves organizations time and money, said Lou Esposito, president and chief information officer of Stradasoft, which distributes IBM middleware. Making the middleware easy to deploy by preloading it in appliances or virtual environments has brought down install times from days to hours, Esposito said. It also freed up Stradasoft's resources, allowing engineers to focus on other projects.
"Now it's all put together, plug it in -- that's what it's all about," Esposito said.
IBM also said it is working with hardware distributors to preload the software on Linux-based appliances, IBM's Smith said. The company will announce hardware partners later this year.
The middleware will also be pre-bundled with Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10 and Ubuntu Linux. Canonical, the commercial sponsor of Ubuntu, will make the middleware components, like Notes, separately available as downloads, said Malcolm Yates, partner manager at Canonical. The Linux distributions are not limited to desktops -- they could also work on laptops, Yates said.
IBM will also ship the repackaged middleware for Apple's Macintosh OS later this year, Smith said.
The company on Tuesday also announced a software toolkit to write applications specifically for Lotus Foundations deployed on the appliances, Smith said.
