I'm not saying that we should program a brain, but possibly take some of the ideas of how brains work and implement them. There's been an estimate that by 2013 we will see a super computer that will exceed the power of the human mind.
Our computer technologies have yet to achieve the complexity of most biological brains. I'd love to see these new informations derive a new form of super-computer.
Of course...We have to watch out for iRobot scenarios...
No, actually. A policeman generally can't see in your backyard. A policeman isn't able to see everyone in the city at once. And a policeman doesn't resemble some sort of oppressive-see-all machinery. You can not see a policeman at every turn, so it doesn't seem nearly as intrusive to have cops, as it would be to have a piece of spy equipment buzzing over your head.
I can't possibly see this thing helping local law enforcement much. It's obviously not going to land next to you and physically write a ticket out, but it would probably take lots of pictures. This would be so very intrusive to have some sort of plane constantly watching over you.
It's not the scientist's job to simply encourage gardens. It's also not the scientist's fault that citizens are not willing to cut back on carbon-emissions. So what does a scientist do? He (or she) tries to find an alternative solution to a problem that has an answer nobody is willing to comply with.

There's a Greasemonkey script for firefox to show if music on Amazon is from the RIAA or not. http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/7967
Newton's third law applies to more than just physics.
