Google to Offer Online Personal Health Records
hhavensteincw writes "Less than two weeks after Microsoft announced plans to offer personal health records, Google announced today that it plans to offer online personal health records to help patients tote and store their own x-rays and other health data. Google made the announcement Wednesday at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco."
is it?
Just recently, the situation called for a 3 seater sofa [citation needed]. I believe a church pew would be thrown because of this one.
How many more chairs must suffer!!
See cid=20905389: I was just joking about this, but maybe I should start a checklist.

No, MS is simply going after VistA. Now that the MS marketing engine has had a year to Google-bomb them out of existence. After all, if it doesn't exist in Google then it's not on the net, right?
With somewhat more than a year of MS' loyal media outlets yammering about MS Windows Vista and 'turfers and Gold Partners setting up blogs and fake websites about MS Windows Vista, the real VistA should be long gone from even the caches. Don't even get me started on the corporate PR playground that is Wikipedia.
So now, when administrators decide to investigate what's the most widely used medial record system, they won't likely find it on the net. Nor will they find out that it is modular, standards, based and like most software, VistA is Open Source *.
(OK, technically it's public domain, but you do get the source under a Crowley-style license as a result.)
Beta is broken and the link to classic doesn't work. Stop wasting our time or there won't be anybody left here.
I don't want to see anything of CmdrTaco's popping up!

Fuck that shit.
Could be I'm an AC because I'm pulling your leg and have no reputation to worry about this way, could be I'm an AC because I'm a generally reputable community member who's worried about the career impact of discussing things learned in confidence in a public forum. You pays your money and you takes your changes.

(Except to note that the comment this is a correction to is expressing something obvious. Who doesn't realize the AC's dual nature?)
I have a set of remote beepers I got at Radio Shack which has been a lifesaver for me many times. Unfortunately in my area once in a while someone transmits on the freq. it uses so sometimes it won't beep unless I hold the remote and beeper close together, but it doesn't happen that often.
un-huh. So what's to stop you from making an account using a name that's not yours, using a spamcatcher webmail account?
Or do you think my real name is Pope Ratzo?
Posting with an account lets the rest of us evaluate just how much weight to give your comments. Posting as an AC lets us assume you're full of shit.
You are welcome on my lawn.
