Actually, we decided to call it Black Jesus because that's what the star basketball player at our high school named his basketball. We thought that was funny...
Some clarification (from one of the programmers)

I made the program with Adam D'Angelo, which you can verify on the team page.
I want to offer the following information about the project. The majority of development effort went into building the Brain. The Synapse player is just something we threw together to get the most from the Brain's functionality. We will probably never port Synapse to other systems since more than enough players already exist. Synapse does work under Wine though. We do have plans to bring the Brain to other systems, and we've begun by writing a plugin for Winamp 2.x, which you can get here. An XMMS plugin is coming soon, and then hopefully there will be one for iTunes in the near future.
And a note about privacy. None of your musical listening data will be available to anyone other than you. We hope to use massive amounts of data to aid in analysis, but your individual data will never be seen by anyone else.
