Backing Up Your Brain

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the error-document-not-found dept.

couch_warrior writes "Microsoft is now working on a system that will back up the contents of your brain. The pilot project lacks a direct brain interface, but "MyLifeBits" will provide a simulacrum of actual memories. No mention is made as to whether Microsoft will claim to own the digital rights to the content of your life, or what license fees you will have to pay to access your own memories." Honestly this looks like a bunch of hooey to me, but I figured others would be better suited to say.

    "Kinda surreal?"
    Does a horse ride a cantalope? Nay, for the pickles are singing!

    Sorry. Please pass the ketchup, I think it's going to rain!

    I sometimes do this when I see the word "surreal". Anyone like canasta? And why is that sausage reading poetry?

    Thanks for taking the time. As for me, I'll be OK after I unsnaggle the loopswitch. Avast! Several pairs of pants have gone missing, and I WON'T be held responsible! Gah!
