My Computer Says You Have SARS
from the just-in-case-you-wanted-to-know dept
Some researchers in Singapore say that they've now developed a microchip that can determine, almost immediately, whether or not you have flu, dengue fever or SARS. They say that all three have similar symptoms, and by testing someone's nasal fluid (sounds pleasant) they can tell immediately which of the three it is - and respond accordingly.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
