Yes. Signed up myself and my daughter on DNA-day (the $100 special price). I have only logged in a couple of times though. Our results were great in that there was nothing special about them, so I haven't been compelled to learn more about some exotic mutation.

I also did it on DNA-day for my wife and I.
Again, nothing special.
However, I thought there were a few really interesting things such as highlighting particular drugs I might find less effective.
While this technology (and the statistical base that is used for correlations) is in its infancy there are some really interesting possibilities with extremely real world applications above and beyond early warning systems for genetic vulnerabilities to certain diseases.
