Brace yourselves girls: genetically, we love pink

It's the eternal question. How should we, as gadget connoisseurs, feel when manufacturers slap a pink coat of paint on their product and declare it For Girls? New research means that we should embrace this, as some researchers at Newcastle University have discovered that we're genetically predisposed to choose pink if we're a girl and blue if we're a boy. When presented with two blocks, one yellow and one blue, all the human lab rats went for blue. But when the choice was red/green, the girls went for red, and the boys for green. Ergo, girls like pink (and blue, actually, but that's not as media friendly a story).
