Another, and much cooler, example of cutting and pasting DNA from one organism to another is Glofish Glofish. Glofish are zebrafish(1) that have had a fluorescent gene from jellyfish pasted into their DNA.
As far as the ethical concerns for GM organisms goes, I tend to think that Montesano is overstepping our knowledge of how organisms actually work, the redundancy built into organisms to allow reproduction after damage, and the fact that plant DNA is damaged in the field by pollution and UV light from the sun. GM is going to be given a bad name by these early trials with supposedly sterile plants, because they're trying to do more than add a single protein into the plants; they're messing with things that aren't understood yet. In terms of glofish and purple roses, however, I don't think there's much (if any) harm that they could do since they're genetically nearly the same as non-GM organisms, but slightly less competitive in the wild due to the extra protein they are making.

the plants take up the food coloring with the water as it transpires out of the leaves. cut the celery stalk perpendicularly [ ( ( ( shapes ] then note the little colored dots...these are the water transporting xylem of the plant, now stained by the food coloring. |

Ho, Hum. Another 3-Megapixel Camera Phone Samsung launched this 3-megapixel camera phone, called the SPH-2300, Sunday [July 11, 2004]. Unlike other camera phones, this one looks as much like a camera as does like a phone. (Girl with acne not included.) Casio shipped its 3-megapixel camera phone last month.

OK. So how long does it take to e-mail a 3 megapixel image over the cell phone? Like a day or something? Or are they improving the infrastructure too?
Or am I just not getting it? Are you supposed to take it home and put the card in your card reader? |

I think you can take a low-res image to transmit over the phone, or a high-res image to take home.
