What do you have to do to get some applause around here?

Craig Venter holds a press conference where he announces that he’s synthesised life, and encoded the English language into the DNA of a cell, and right at the end he gets a lacklustre round of applause.

Steve Jobs announces that he’s eventually worked out how to enable multi-tasking on a subset of iPhones, and the crowd goes wild.

It’s a strange world.
