re doubletwist being first to decipher the genome..I worked with one of the founders who was a really nice kid years ago so I try and stay informed...was having lunch and noticed a geek reading some stuff and started talking - he was from doubletwist and said they were pinning there hopes on this new client/server virtual odor thing (you get this little box with chemicals that when the server says 'chocolate' sends a signal to your box of chemicals and you smell chocolate). He did not know they were close to deciphering the genome...seems like news like that would trickle out in a small company...
