Yes, Yes.....<\/span><\/span><\/p>


<\/span><\/span><\/div>
Everyones' little heart is a-twitter for the subisdized cost of 23andSerge, now to be known as 23andKari (will tell you why soon) a whopping 99 USD. Which I had been saying is the correct price point for about 2 years now.<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
Yes, finally, something other than a blimp and million dollar parties<\/a> will actually pull out the lurkers.....<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
Here's my take. There was a company in a galaxy far far away, Iceland. That was the toast of the town in 2004. Why? They were collecting genomes for a grand experiment. They were going to discover fantastic links to disease and sell access to the highest bidder. <\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
While they did produce some great Nature papers......what happened to DeCode?<\/span><\/span><\/div>
I think we all know.<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
23andKari has now emerged. The front end.....happy shiny ancestry and disease links.....<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
I have forgotten to mention that the FDA still hasn't finished working on these companies<\/a>, have I?<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
The back end? A database of genomes to cull for disease links to be sold at the highest bidder?<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
Sound familiar??<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
In case you forgot, Kari did this with Gulcher and went belly up.......<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
And BTW, who owns that genetic data now? Is it getting resold?<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
Celera too?<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
Also in case you forgot, this is a rock bottom version of Navigenics game...How's that working?<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
I think 23andKari will actually survive. Why? Huge megacorporation investment. That's why.<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
GOOG et.al. own 23andKari now. Your data? Wrong! Theirs.<\/span><\/a> Now that they are being investigated for antitrust in the EU<\/a>, they have to move quickly on this phase<\/a>......<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
I have said it before and will again. Why sell Manhattan for bobbles and trinkets?<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
Because it's cheap, that's why........Hell. IMHO, 23andKari should be paying you for your genome.<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
I hope the lab 23andKari is using is up to snuff this time.....after that whole sample swap issue, they are about to get a whole lot more volume.<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
