Capital is debt. It has been we left the gold standard. It will continue to be that way until someone comes up with a better way to create money than digging it up or from lending.
Hello! 75 comments in already and no one mentions the most interesting part about this article. Analog circuits that learn, in five years!!!! Am I missing something? Isn't this huge for AI research? I'm serious. I am a layman but, this brings to my mind many additional benefits than "instant on" computers. How about computers that think and learn like we do? Also, an analog memristor could hold more than two values. Wouldn't this mean HUGE memory densities would be available? Are these ideas ridiculous or is the singularity even closer?
"If 'grey goo' could happen from nanotech or biotech, then bacteria would have done it already."
Well bacteria have produced a "green goo" that has rapidly spread across the earth. It only took them a few billion years. It is a little more structured than "goo" though.
I would love to see the sales figures for both formats plotted on an exponential graph. Does anyone know where I could find this information in this form? Maybe it could provide additional insight. (a la Ray Kurzweil) http://www.kurzweilai.net/articles/art0134.html?pr intable=1
I have been using Grand Central for a while and I have been dreaming about this. Google and Grand Central seem like a good match...as long as they stop taking away functionality and start adding more (like gmail voice mail integration). It didn't bother me to much when they started announcing to my callers that I was recording their call (I was expecting it) but taking away my custom mp3 rings. For shame. Seriously though, I enjoy the features in Grand Central so much I was actually considering paying for them when they went out of beta. Now that Google bought them though..Beta Forever Baby!!
First they leeched my wireless internet. Then they started watching what I watch on my digital cable. Now they are going to take my power too? I see where this going. I will be waiting in the bushes next to my water spigot with a shotgun. Maybe a bear trap in my trashcan for good measure.
IANAL, but couldn't companies with a vested interest in FOSS sue Microsoft for libel? Could this force Microsoft to disclose the allegedly infringed upon patents?
Any lawyers in the house?

What is the use of a transparent airplane if a bunch of terrorists can get it to go down just by asking it riddles?
It won't deteriorate. Until some trans-dimensional being gets shklis or shkler tentacles on it.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!

April Fools Day joke. Nothing more.
