A means to accomplish a device to stab people over the internet.
Some people might think it's fine to be ugly but 'unique'. But genetic prescreening and treatment would do a lot of good in curing a lot of social problems. Removing predisposition to acne for one would eliminate a lot of social prejudice, and who says such treatment cannot be handed out to the people for free?

Ho hum.. just Google's way of staying as the leader of the web 2.0 app pack. Wonder if this will cause a ton of "production" products to appear.
Lesson: BPA turns soyabeans into coconuts.
Which explains how Windows outsells Macs by so much. I think Microsoft has done something right for it to have so much market share.

Next thing they'd do is grow hair like cattle!
