Cyborg Bonanza Prediction Comes True!



In a post a few down (from July '07), my cohort "Berg" predicted that Craig Venter would be well on his way to creating life.
TIME Magazine, always well behind the Cyborg Bonanza bleeding edge, covers Mr. Venter's discoveries today.


Working with only the four basic nucleotides that make up all DNA—adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine—he has assembled an entirely new chromosome for an entirely new one-celled creature. Insert that genome into a cell—like inserting a disc into a computer—and a new species of living thing will be booted up.

Allow me to be the first to welcome our Craig Venter organism overlords.
