I don't like this essay. It presumes that preventative care means anything other than making it so people don't need to go to the emergency room for care that should have been handled long before if they were properly insured.
Linked from here (http://nextbigfuture.com/2008/10/applied-biosystems-introduces-system.html) which mentions that we are still on track for the $100 genome in 2012.
It's saddening how much our politicians misunderstood the purpose and value of research. Do you think we could have cured cancer with the amount of money spent on the War in Iraq?
The author makes the conclusion that Microsoft is better pedagogically because it is the industry standard, so it better prepares students for the real world. But at this point Open Office works just fine as a spreadsheet, so if a student wants to use it, great. It's inter-operable enough.
This is cool, it's like an open source counterpart to the consumer SNP scan services. If you download your raw genomic data, you can run it through SNPedia and get a lot of interesting raw information about SNPs you have.
I was wondering if the Radiohead reference was intentional and then saw the song embedded at the bottom of the post. Nice job.
Ah, the wonders of "Andrew Logic"...

Thanks for the link, I was really wondering about the whole list.
yeah, this is that guy
The news here is that when abused for 20 years, marijuana appears to be minimally harmful. Equivalent alcohol use and you'd be close to dead.
We live in interesting times, here's hoping Moore's Law keeps going.

If it doesn't help people get "dates", 23andme can't be the ultimate social network.

Google Docs is missing too many features.
Can anyone get the video to work?
Not licensed commercial though...
Genetic engineering seems to trigger some deeply inbuilt cultural/moral trigger.
I think the real problem is that genetic engineering is going to suddenly give us the greatest divide that has ever existed between rich and poor.
At this point I'm pretty sure IBM has all the cycles they want...
