Re:Google turns on "Download Gmail Archive" feature on Sunday February 09, 2014 @12:40AM (#7204530)

You got it. For me, I like getting my personal and work emails pushed to my iPhone in the same place (the Mail app). Though I have the Gmail app I don't use it.

"Fiat currencies" = Italian autocorrect?

The whole thing sounds crazy -- I wonder if it's a competitor trying to sink them. Or an even crazier twist would be a competitor trying to sink them while simultaneously leveraging their open code base...

I was pleased to see he figured it out by the final iteration.

Exactly. It's not clear to me whether they're only checking for SNPs in a single locus or if they can multiplex (or do whole exome). Though Oxford NanoTech is still essentially vaporware at this point, their technology excites me a lot more than something like this.

My first thoughts exactly when I saw this post. Well actually my first thought was "Doesn't OP mean Google is laying fiber in Austin? Ooooooohh I get it...". I'm happy about this -- it means that Google's mission is coming along nicely. Screw AT&T.
