I just read an interesting post at Simple Thoughts -- Simple solutions 
for smart people. Apparently... “For $1,000, many people will be able to own an extra brain by 2017 “ Makes you wonder if there is a reduced price ... if you buy one earlier would you get a semi-smart brain... since the Japanese Supercomputer already Achieved 10% of Human Brain Capacity
According to Angsuman Chakraborty, this supercomputer is installed at Riken’s Yokohama Institute, and Riken plans to show it off at an open house scheduled for today.
This MDGrape-3 holds a chip first developed in 2004 as the core processing element for the supercomputer. Foundry partner Hitachi Ltd. fabricated the chips on its HDL4N 130-nanometer process technology.
It’s estimated that By 2010, a single large computer will have the raw capacity of one of our brains. Organizing the data and software is expected to lag behind by another decade or so. Angsuman Chakraborty estimated that Web service centers like Google or Amazon or Ebay or multi-player games will likely have similar computing capacities as well. He stated that they expect: “ to have 100’s of millions of humans (ie. us) shaping their soon-to-be superhuman intelligence every minute with every click.” Will you be one of these...?
Will you be buying an extra brain for one grand…?
