Submission + - Who Owns You? 20% Of Your Genes Are Patented (singularityhub.com) 1
kkleiner writes: Here’s a disconcerting thought: for the past thirty years, genes have been patentable. And we’re not just talking genetically modified corn – your genes, pretty much as they exist in your body, can and have been patented. The US government reports over three million gene patent applications have been filed so far; over 40,000 patents are held on sections of the human genome, covering roughly 20% of our genes. Upset? You’re not alone.

Why blame Android for something the Carriers are doing?
It's like being locked out of your apartment and blaming the construction company when it was the landlord that changed the locks and didn't give you the key.

Add $10 to that and it is actually $80 on Sprint. That is because the only comparable phone that Sprint offers is the HTC Evo 4g, and Sprint requires a $10 premiuim phone charge per month for it.
