I'm not up to surrendering my most personal information, so someone could make a profit.<BR/><BR/>As for the National Geographic site:<BR/>1. May I ask what did you get in exchange for the $107 one of their kits cost?<BR/>2. What's the contract you've signed for this? What are they allowed to do with your genetic information later on?Traveling Tech Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547838190628135925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13417295.post-78481169799655573532007-11-25T06:11:00.000-08:002007-11-25T06:11:00.000-08:00Ohad,The statistics are real - many people rushed ...Ohad,<BR/>The statistics are real - many people rushed in to buy (including some tech gurus like Scoble - who seems to like it). I suggest you read the bad reviews - none of the reviewers actually bought a Kindle.

I wonder if the product supply shortage is something amazon did deliberately or they just preapred a low stock.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13417295.post-70832654875843283132007-11-24T10:40:00.000-08:002007-11-24T10:40:00.000-08:00DNA tests - At least for genealogy purposes it's a...DNA tests - At least for genealogy purposes it's an old technique and the service is available by many companies for years.<BR/>In that respect, National Geographic's Genographic Project<BR/>(www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic) is very interesting - my wife did it and traced her roots back to Africa..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
