This article comes from the UK newspaper site www.Telegraph.co.uk. I'm sure there must be other articles about this too since the sources are guys from the U.S.--there's even a UW professor cited.
Anyway. The article, Web pages have 'come alive and started breeding,' reports that for a while, Web pages have been changing or evolving to keep them up-to-date with user preferences.
What scientists have now created, is software that, once a site is set up, treats the features of the page like genes. So every time the page gets refreshed, the software randomly changes or mutates the page. Thought that was kind of cool.

That would be really cool for large sites with lots of information. But it's still really hard to imagine that it can really work. And how would it effect accessibility? I wonder if the more broadly accessible features that aren't as eye-catching would get phased out.
