| The heavy handed approach by the Royal Mail to a
| growing sector of not-for-profit citizen focused
| websites is not new but still deeply regrettable.
| As a minister, I initiated a conversation that I
| hoped would lead to Royal Mail taking a more
| flexible approach with the web community who seek
| to use geo-spatial co-ordinates to develop new and
| innovative services that help the public in their
| daily lives.

Your genome isn't that precious â give it away
,----[ Quote ]
| A more radical approach - and one likely to appal the privacy advocates - is
| to throw off the shackles of privacy protection altogether. This is the line
| followed by Harvard Medical School's Personal Genome Project, which aims to
| make personal genome sequencing more affordable and accessible. The PGP
| obliges those who choose to participate to make their genetic data and other
| personal information available to researchers and the public.
