#22Compare and contrast this to Steve Jobs + Apple's handling of Steve's cancer scare a few years ago. Fascinating.
Well, fakesergeybrin.com has already been registered, so that comparison is interesting in more ways than one.

#23Can't wait for the cool personal life bits about the new plane him and larry brought, or the trip to outer space him and his buddies are about to go on, or how no one will ever make an algorithm better than the google search one.

#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
That is indeed a very useful aspect of genetic testing, however 23andme focuses on less medically useful low penetrance genes. The more medically useful high penetrance genetic tests are almost all patented
Do you know where I can find a list describing the highest penetrance genetic tests that I can compare with 23andme's offerings?

#25>I now have the opportunity to adjust my life to reduce those odds (e.g. there is evidence that exercise may be protective against Parkinson's). You don't need a genetic test to know that excercise is incredibly healthy.
"... You don't need a genetic test to know that excercise is incredibly healthy. ..." But if you charge "X" dollars to screen people for say Alzheimer's, something they may get 20 years before symptoms arise?

#29I'm not sure how to avoid sounding insensitive, but it seems like an ad for his wife's company...
If this is his personal blog, I don't see what's wrong with that. Paul Graham can promote YC in his essays, so why can't Brin promote something he believes in on his personal blog.
Nothing wrong with it, it just makes it less interesting than if he had something else to say.
