Our advice: take advantage of the free trials before you commit. And if you have an iPod, stick with iTunes...

Back then, it was widely assumed that the emerging science of human genomics would quickly lead to spectacular cures for cancer and other diseases and even allow couples to have "designer" babies with desirable traits plucked from a catalog...
