The original article is from four years ago. Here's an update: http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/shortsharpscience/2011/05/... Alas that headline, like so many in this space, is misleading and converts promise into something a lot more d

To each his own. Some tasks I find (writing is one of them) are best done in a coffee shop. Somehow I find it easier to "zone out" the hustle and movement and focus in coffee shops, while a more silent and still environment makes me very

I have a Zi8 which I haven't used in a long time and didn't use that much when I had it. Now I take video with my iPhone4 all the time.

I find it very hard to believe that China is ahead of India, even if it's a few percentage points, especially given that there are enough people in India for whom English is essentially a first language or a parallel first language.

Depends on how you look at it. The BGI (aka Beijing Genomics Institute) is already the worlds largest genome sequencing facility, and I know of many US researchers and companies that are essentially choosing to use the BGI for all their se

Agreed, they both have their place, although I am biased heavily in favor of using personas that link to your real identity. If FB allowed anonymity, I would be using it. It's for my connections and those alone.

I complain about the state of academia all the time and went straight from my PhD to a startup, but I completely agree with you. My experience was rather wonderful.

A number of human genomes are public domain via the human genome project and 1000 genomes project, etc. The part that needs to be resolved is the bit about genes and disease implications. A recent case overturned Myriad's patents on BRCA
