hadoop, bioinformatics and amazon web services (recorded talk online)

FYI:

"one of our own" - Deepak Singh who went from life science to 
evangelizing Amazon's EC2/AWS products gave a talk on hadoop and 
bioinformatics at a recent NYC Hadoop meeting.

For me the interesting stuff is hadoop as I'm still getting my head 
around the pros and cons of mapReduce-style methods.

Overall though the talk is well done and I'm probably going to be 
passing the link around to people generally interested in "IT challenges 
for life science" as his talk does cover a lot of good 
background/process info.
