Why "News" annoys me

Just heard about this: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/science.1190719

Published yesterday. It's totally not in my field, but I still feel comfortable saying that this is the most significant news of the day.

I wanted to hear more about the responses to this so I went to cnn.com
Front page, top news stories - nothing.

Ok, I get it. I'm a nerd. I care more about nerdy things than the average person. Fine. I'll go to the science and technology section.

Nothing.

Though, apparently, facebook can predict who you will date next. Talk about ground breaking research!

To be fair - there is a link to this http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1990836,00.html in the health section.

Oh, and thanks TED! http://www.ted.com/talks/craig_venter_unveils_synthetic_life.html
