NBC News...Amazon is in a race against Google to store data on human DNA, seeking both bragging rights in helping scientists make new medical discoveries and market share in a business that may be worth $1 billion a year by 2018. Academic institutions and healthcare companies are picking sides between their cloud computing offerings - Google Genomics or Amazon Web Services -- spurring the two to one-up each other as they win high-profile genomics business, according to interviews with researchers, industry consultants and analysts.

Fantastic find!!!! Life today is of the Jues, by the Jues and for the Jues. There will be no improvement in the situation until amerikans start seeing AND SAYING it. Jues are "the world's foremost problem" -- Henry Ford!
