Keeping the Score

,----[ Quote ]
| The other day I heard a music publisher 
| inveigh against composers who post their 
| scores for free as PDFs on their web pages. I 
| am one of that tribe. His argument, which was 
| new to me and interested me, was that those 
| composers pose unfair competition to the 
| composers whose scores are published, and thus 
| cost money.

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.
