What’s in your DNA? #12

Today we’ve got DNA for cheapness, editing, and Googling. DNA is on everyone’s mind.

Mahalo.com’s Jason Calacanis on going cheap:

I’m still really cheap. I have a hard time paying over $200 for a hotel room, I always try to take the low-level car, and I refuse to buy Starbucks coffee based on price. I wonder sometimes if I’m doing this to try to “keep it real” or if it’s a DNA thing.

Job description for a medicine and life science sub-editor at Cactus Communications:

The DNA of Cactus’ medicine and life sciences editing team comprises editors with master’s degrees or a PhD in microbiology, biotechnology, life sciences, biochemistry, etc.

Cory Doctorow of Boing Boing on Google turning evil:

…one of the things that I think is in Google’s DNA is a real tension about, on the one hand, being good to people, but on the other hand, acquiring as much information about them as they can, under the rubric that it allows them to be better to people.
