POPSScience as Search: Google Co-Founder to Fund Parkinson's Study Brin, who has said he has a genetic risk for Parkinson's, has funded the study and promised to give 10,000 people their genomic data for just $25 each (the 23andMe service regularly costs about $400).

I don't doubt that many folks will be skeptical of this endeavor (Valleywag and Steve Murphy, start the race to be the first to squat on this with some snide remark, starting … now!) And sure, I acknowledge that 23andMe is good at publicity. But I think there's a fundamental shift in science here that should not go unnoted. This is an endeavor to create an apparatus for answers; answers not just to the questions we have today, but the questions science will have or 10 years from now. This is, indeed, science by search.

POPSMicrosoft Hires Porn Actress to market Live Search This is pretty old but I completely missed it so thought others might have as well to have Ms. Dewey do your search go to http://www.msdewey.com/ . Had a lot of fun playing around with it. Some of the terms have customized recordings that she says to you. For instance try the search term "love" at this site.
