Anonymous Coward writes "Bringing us one step closer to becoming centrally-controlled meatbots, Japanese scientists have developed a device that produces power from the glucose in human blood. Theoretically, this technology (aka "Dracucell") could produce 100W of power. Of course, it can't produce that much power in practice since your body stupidly wastes glucose in maintaining homeostasis. The scientists propose that this devices could be used to power implanted devices. Now how many of you Slashdotters would it take to power my laptop? I'll buy the cola!"
Computers can never be as smart as humans because of the simple fact that humans have souls which allow a creative nature. Computers cannot be programmed to have souls. They can perhaps be programmed to have weighted levels of preference for certain things, but they can never appreciate things at the level that we humans can.
Despite what fear-mongers like Bill Joy say about computers achieving then surpassing humans in intelligence, just consider that intelligence isn't a matter of MIPS, but one of creativity and the ability to think outside of the box. These are things computers can't do, and will never be able to do.
