Technology really has improved, I remember it took over 10 years and millions of dollars to sequence the first human genome and that was only a few years ago.

on a less ambitions scale than a full DNA sequencer, think about the potential of similar MEMS-microfluidic biosensor arrays to detect specific substances that are produced as byproducts of diseases such as cancer. The ability to detect diseases at a very early stage could save many lives, and biosensors like this could be incorporated in mobile phone handsets, for example.

that police and other government agencies can use Robot crime is just around the corner. Most security systems were designed to detect human criminals, not tiny robots. Even if a robot gets caught, the criminal may be in China. Has anyone checked the Fort Knox inventory lately?

You think the police and government will use it?
I think it will be the robots that use it against us...

Yeah, they’re cute in the garden and I laugh at the one in the commercial, but $1,000 for a gnome? Seems high to me.
