First of all, I said my fear is possibly irrational. In the end, the trend on the whole internet goes towards less and less privacy, which is fine as long as I know about it. I can adapt my life to it.
Second, another matter is who do I allow to hold that data about me. I'd rather give it to a publicly quoted company that is in the public spotlight like none other and thus is less likely to do dodgy things with it. Some random site called Delver - who are they accountable to? Will I ever know if they decide to sell that data to whoever?

I think your view on the talent question is too simplistic. Do you really always need "top talent"? Isn't it the case that also someone bright, able and reliable but who is not a total superstar can do the job? I just graduated from a top tier MBA school and several of my classmates, many of them very smart and talented, are still looking for jobs. True, the real superstars never struggle, their problem is to sift through the great offers they have. But the good solid performers are still looking, and many more than usual are turning to start-ups.

Fascinating! Thanks for this, very enlightening.
The language things should be easily solved with a software add-on, but the one-handedness and fingernail issue will keep bugging the Japanese for sure.

I think the blog is a great tool to build your public profile as an expert in something. If you follow a certain industry sector you will automatically find interesting things to talk about. The challenge is to write researched stories (not just opinionated stuff) and to stick to a common thread. Random topics are less helpful (I should stick to that advice myself...)

Take it easy, guys. The ads don't expand by themselves or via a rollover - you have to click on them for them to expand which should appease even the most of you vociferous critics ;-)

Sergey Brin's wife is involved in this. He benefited from this tool when found out that he has a genetically pre-disposed likelihood of developing Parkinson's disease of 20-80%. Knowing this, he can take all possible preventive measures so that he mitigates the likelihood of it occurring as well as leading a healthy lifestyle to ease the impact if it ever occurs.

Their business model is that they provide DNA analysis for $399. Seems like they are profitable so they don't need to monetize the data.

Gosh... seems they're really trying everything they can. Maybe one day... excuse me, someone's at the door...

Oh my God, that was an EMI salesman with a hawker's tray, selling CDs by the pound! He's now ringing at the neighbour's door.

By the way, Multi-tasking is actually an illusion: Your brain can't perform stuff at the same time. If you are on the phone while reading an article online, you have fractions of seconds where you focus on the article and fractions you focus on the call. You're not present in either.
Multi-tasking between different things (such as writing half an email, then alt-tabbing to something else, then going back) is nothing but a time waster because every time you get back to the initial task it takes you some time to get back into what you were doing.
So, in the end, multi-tasking doesn't exist.
