Hilarious (and regrettably accurate) commentary on the Venter news:

http://www.good.is/post/synthetic-life-is-born-er-synthesized

Venter wants to use synthetic life to create algae that can eat carbon dioxide and produce fuel, but potential applications include creating new foods, speeding up the production of vaccines, and of course, taking over the world with an army of engineered super-organisms.

The number of people writing about this online will far exceed the number who know what they're talking about.
