From looking briefly at the Oxford Ancestors site it looks like they and the Genographic Project use the same basic technology and methodology. Oxford appears to be more focused on European genealogy while the Genographic Project has a more worldly focus. They both believe in the same finding we're descended from a man who lived in Africa 60,000 - 80,000 years ago.
My guess is that they'll have the same conclusions. Oxford Ancestors will probably be assisting in the project.
By the way, Spencer Wells, head of the Genographic Project wrote a book on his conclusions so far, The Journey of Man.

Top 10 Apple Flops

This article is full of minor inaccuracies. For example, it claims that "OpenDoc development started in 1995", but in fact it started development within Apple before 1993. I noticed a few other problems.
Well now someone could make a open source plugin to the home and academic versions to support the XML format too.
I'm not sure if that is what this provides. What would you translate the XML to? You'd need to either be able to translate it to an Office binary format or script application to recreate the contents. It doesn't give you the former and I don't know about the latter.
PowerPoint also has a QuickTime export feature, although in my opinion Keynote QuickTime export works better. Both applications support interactive QT (clicks on links work), but with Keynote you can navigate with clicks and keyboard keys like it is a presentation.
The/. editors should at least change how the article appears on the front page when the story turns out to be a hoax. Otherwise a number of people just waste their time reading it.
"[A] kind of living ghost from the Apple years returned to haunt and torment Steve. It was as if Steve were being punished for his past sins.
In December, Steve's car windshield was broken by a vandal, as were sixteen windows in his house in Palo Alto. A few days later, Laurene [Steve Jobs's wife] saw a man sitting on the curb across the street and holding a bag of rocks.
The man wasn't a stranger. He was Burrell Smith, who has been the chief hardware designer of the Macintosh. Burrell has been a legendary figure at Apple, a brilliant engineer who pushed himself incredibly hard to fulfill Steve's demanding visions. But after Steve unfairly criticized and humiliated him in front of the Macintosh team in 1985, he had left Apple and never returned. In the following years, his mental health deteriorated. In 1990, he suddenly lost control and vandalized a church in Palo Alto, knocking over two statues and breaking the panes of stained glass. He was diagnosed as a bipolar manic-depressive with "chemical brain imbalance." After eighteen months of taking lithium, he seemed to have recovered and he went off the medication.
Now he was losing control again.
He lived only a few block down Waverly Street from Steve and Laurene."
The book later goes on to mention that a restraining order was obtained against Burrell.
Driving to SF yesterday I saw a lot of Creative Zen audio player billboards. They show the various colors of the player. (Anyone know a link to a picture?) However, they don't have the kick of the iPod ads. If this is the kind of marketing they're planning on then your prediction is sure to come true.
I'm sure I'm not the first person to wonder, how can something be both new and improved? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it.
It is not just blind people who could be helped out by this. Other people with disabilities (e.g. quadriplegics) could be assisted through this technology, as long as they are able to speak.
A 25 foot audio cable? That's exactly the sort of thing people want to avoid by using this product, having to run a cable around the house that people might trip over, etc.
I was recently given a Japanese CD as a gift. The CD label claimed it had copy protection and would not work on a Mac. However, iTunes ripped the music off it just fine. I don't know why kind of protection it uses. In the linked article many people claimed that the copy protection didn't block them from ripping other CDs too.

Yes, he's the one leading the Genographic project.
The goal of the new research is to answer questions left unanswered by the previous research.

I think that's true. In any case the binary format will probably continue to be default.
I know that the Macintosh version doesn't appear to support XML.

According to the book "The Second Coming of Steve Jobs":
"[A] kind of living ghost from the Apple years returned to haunt and torment Steve. It was as if Steve were being punished for his past sins.
In December, Steve's car windshield was broken by a vandal, as were sixteen windows in his house in Palo Alto. A few days later, Laurene [Steve Jobs's wife] saw a man sitting on the curb across the street and holding a bag of rocks.

He lived only a few block down Waverly Street from Steve and Laurene."
The book later goes on to mention that a restraining order was obtained against Burrell.
That's from January 3rd, 2005.
I wonder, is there is any possibility that radiation from wireless networking could cause a health problem?
Yes, if there was no God, math would be ugly. :-P

Mod parent up. "Macintosh" the computer is a misspelling of "McIntosh". According to this story(search on "McIntosh") it was deliberate.
It is not just blind people who could be helped out by this. Other people with disabilities (e.g. quadriplegics) could be assisted through this technology, as long as they are able to speak.
So they, the insiders, can cash out on the stock before it crashes. Remember the phrase "pump and dump"?
Mod parent up.
Also, there is still motivation for corporations to have their stock price go up and because of this there still motivation to decieve investors.
Actually, Roger Ebert has lost a lot of weight through diet and cancer treatment.
Fergit that! Keynote, bud!

Is this really an issue?
I think this is just one step towards "all-artificial". The real big step will be when the story is written by a computer.
The Governing circuits have already taken over California. Soon they will take over the rest of the country.
How come Homer and Krusty look like clones?
The original idea of Krusty was Homer in a clown suit.
