US NPR (public) radio has a great podcast where they stitch a set of TED talks into a theme. In this episode, they have put that loosely under the category of "hacking" which goes well beyond hacking computers. But even the computer hacking one is fascinating look at the very first computer virus and the persons behind it. It then goes on to talk about de-evolution (bringing back extinct species), hacking of the brain to cure illnesses and a way to potentially reverse global warming in days!

Listened to it while driving yesterday and highly recommend a listen:


Would be great to hear comments and feedback on the topics especially if you have expertise in any of these areas. So pour your favorite beverage and set aside 50 minutes for one of the most enlightening podcasts I have heard!
