    Well almost every mobile device with a browser on. Few examples; Nokia, HP WebOS (Palm), Apple, Google(Chrome, Android mobiles)

    The web is transforming to an SDK form making applications availabre from everywhere. It's not an bad idea at all, but should maybe be redisigned from scratsh.

    Maybe someone should make an HTML5 only compiant browser.

    I agree and disagree. A computer works by some sets of algorithms. I do believe it's the same with the brain. But that they would be similar is just oversimplifications. End they are absolutely not same style of computers. A computer never acts on it's own, the brain does. It teaches itself, it reprogram itself, and if unstimulated it goes rampant. A program or computer is stable that is not the case with the brain.

    To me one ultimate prof of inteligense would be action upon imagination. That may not be the only state that needs to be reached but sure is one important aspect of true intelligense. But to act you need life. Something dead will not act of its own. But skipping that part... and descripbe what I view as prof of acts upon imagination. We humans do imagine impossible things. E.g. we imagined wagons without horces. We imagined how it would be to fly as the birds. This imagination created a lust, this lust inturn created the power to innovate in the science of flying (or other) Today we do fly with our innovations. We also imagine space travel, we (some) have gotten a lust for space travel which has powerd some innovations in that field of science, we go to the moon, still not traveling. But you know the story from above (actually the profecy, history written in beforehand) Today we also imagine that we could create intelligence just as God did, or for the majority as Big Bang did (different aproach just a bunch of true random functions). Personally I doubt the human intelligence would be able to create intelligence, but the patten is the same as in the above. We imagine the posibility, we gain a lust for creating it, we start innovating in that science watson is an example of that. Well if the story doesn't end somwhere it will become a profecy to we will create intelligence. Is imagination oposite of being rational. Right an Left, our brains seems bit oposite in left and right. Maybe intelligense is a balance upon action based on imagination and being rational. To program lust and love i belive is a piece of nuts compared with the scope i just described.

    It's only due to lousy scientist/engineers etc that we have gotten these problems. If they only themselves would stick to the proper meanding of each word. Instead of proclaming that they been first to create life syntetically or similary we wouldn't have this problem. But these scientist exagurate the labeling of their findings, only to make a name in the comunity. E.g. this scientist who clamed that he has created life from dead matter. What he actually had done was to create at DNS strin syntetically. Still that DNA string was a direct copy of an existing DNA string of an bactery in the nature. And the cell itself that it was "injected" to was far from "unfertile" or dead in itself. If only these people who actually know what they are doing, would put their own ego away and actuall lable and describe theri findings correctly. Neither would Ai be missused nor the word hacker!

    Life is not aboundant in Univerce it's statistically immpossible. Statistically and scientifically the only place you'll ever find, note, in our univerce except we humans have planted it outside earth is on earth. Heck statistically and mathematically it's even impossible here on earth. also note just for clarification. I refer to life form that is based on matter that is found in our universe, be it matter, anti matter or dark matter. I exclude from my calculation any other kind of life form that some migth refer to as energy, spirit, ghost, angels, demons or similar. Anyway if such excist they are not bound to our Universe just the way we are and therfore not a part of the universe. So just leve that discussion out of contents.

    I find physics more important than math if I have to chose between them. But IMO math should be physics driven. There is little need for calculatign stuff you don't know what it's your calculating. So understanding first method second. Often you can figure out a method if you have the understanding first. That is much how i did physics though being the lazy one not always attending class missing out on some formulas and so. But usually I could figure out a way to come to the result in the tests. Maybe it wasn't the cleanest or simlpest way of calculating, but it's the problem solving and understanding that is meassured int the tests. Or should be if your teacher is worth a penny.

    I dont belive that would be slick the GCD, blocks approach from apple IMO is by far better. What happens when you have more processes to run than you have processors.

GCD/blocks approach is ranted by many who don't understands it's beauty, it might not be the most novel approach but it's the best working approach out there.
