   Such as Crichton's "Prey" novel

   If the "nanomachines" in that novel are the size of human cells as he said, then they would have to be on the micrometer scale, and considerably larger than most bacteria.
   
   Our environment is already filled with trillions of non-living, self-replicating nanomachines that destroy living cells, and some of them are killing people by the millions.

   Remember "i" and "e" ".com"

   Reminds me of the late '90s. Every company being funded - and even a few established ones - started adding "e" or "i" or ".com" to their names and went public, or saw their stock go through the roof - even if the business had nothing or little to do with the internet.
   
   This will be a trend as long as both the government and VCs advertise that they are funding "nanotech".

   NanoDiva

   I'm waiting for some inconsequential singer to decimate her weight and then make the quantum jump to becoming a nanoDiva.
