Jinn?
According to critics, an eavesdropper, constantly striving to go behind the curtains of heaven in order to steal divine secrets. May grant wishes.

Your genetic code for $1000
BBC News | Science/Nature:
A British company, Solexa, claims it has developed a quick, cheap method to sequence human DNA. ![[this item]](http://radio.weblogs.com/0103811/images/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
Solexa's ultimate goal is to sequence an individual's entire genome in 24 hours for $1,000.We can expect genetic sequencing services to be widely available within 10 years, costing about as much as a decent suit. Someone will obtain that information and provide it to insurance companies; it is likely to be either your government or a new type of "market research" company. Further, within 20 years, someone else will develop personalized medication for you, one that fits exactly your needs as decoded from your own easily available genetic code — and they will want to sell it to you.
