Why would one need to simulate the WHOLE brain when most of the brain is probably dedicated to controlling body processes?
In fact most things don't even have to be implemented. Consider Helen Keller, she was born deaf and blind yet though all that handicap (which was meaningless in the face of this woman) she overcame and went on to publish multiple books including "The story of my life",attend college where she graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree and educated the world about what 'one'CAN do. Helen matriculated through life, to become one of the world's leading women and a master of humanity by her thought, speech (sign) and action - a role model of human excellence!
My point is that this computer doesn't need to be able to SEE or HEAR. The Machine only needs a simple way to communicate with the world, just as Helen Keller did with touch when she learned to communicate with her teacher, Mrs. Ann Sullivan.
You see, by simplifying the problem more resources can be dedicated to the mental discriminators and pattern recognizers that the machine will use to THINK, so that ultimately the machine should be able to HELP the scientist finish building ITSELF.
PS: I think it would be a travesty to bestow upon a machine the gift and the challenge that comes with emotions when we have yet to master such a gift ourselves. I have fear, that though our own ignorance, we may release a monsterwhich in turn may be our own undoing.

In France they make extensive use of Cobblestone streets. The roads last far longer and the whole pop and crack of the cement during winter is really not an issue..
Does anyone know why a Cobblestone system isn't used more in US cities?
Not sure about VR but as a sidepoint I'd love to see a system that uses my "EYES" as a pointing device for objects on the screen.
Imagine being able to just lookat a buttin and then mash a joystick type button held in the hand! Everything from first person shooters to regular computer tasks would/could seem to take half the time - being that everything is happening minus the mouse or trackball.
Isn't the REAL problem the fact that no one buys American not even the Americans?
Walk into your local walmart most of that stuff on the shelf was produced in some sweat shop condition so it could end up on our shelves at ROCK BOTTOM prices. Meanwhile, overseas no one is purchasing American mostly cause American manufactuing is moving over seas due to lower cost.
The net effect is that as the capital leaves the economy and little to no enters enters the enconomy - Where does the money come from?
Funny, I think you are right on point. Mabey thats why our country is looking to INCOURAGE all oil dealing to be done in dollars, cause that's what's allowed our DEPT to be so high now.
The time that almost every major US bank and financial house in the US participated in defrauding US investors out of TRILLIONS of dollars using IPO pump and dump and insider IPO trading..
Funny thing is they got fined about 1% of what they took in and tried to blame it all on a few brokers.
Meanwhile, the same finance houses that were PUSHING stocks they "themselves" rated as BUY, were quietly SELLING thousands of shares while the stock kept falling at avalanch pace.
These same finance houses were the same ones that OWNED or had partnerships with MEDIA that was pushing the BUY stock, and thus F***ing the public all the way down, while the SEC said NOTHING, and Greenspan looked on like a fool after lowering interest rates so low that the whole country just moved in liquid - ONE WAY. Into the financier's pockets... sigh...
and did the government move to stop business.. no. They're not powerful enough to do that. Business ownes Washington and politics in general. Period.
This has lead me to a simple formula that seems to become more visible year after year.

I was wondering - what if sub atomic particles themselves SHIFT on a doppler type concept. In such a way that atoms that are comprised of these subatomic particles become slightly more positive or slightly more negative. This cause a slightly stronger repeling force and therefore acounting for the ever expanding speed of the universe.. Is that possible?
Also, if this concept is taken a bit further is it possible that the universe is spreading out like a pancake - dissolving - or perhaps the entire universe is one giant pobbaility wave and the edges and the tips of the wave - doppler style. ??? Sound possible?
"Samsung said its 21-inch OLED display features 6.22 million pixels in wide ultra-extended graphics array (WUXGA). The OLED offers brightness of 400 nit, contrast ratio of 5,000:1, color gamut of 75 percent and fast response times, making it ideal for high definition video, Samsung said."
Impressive!
I think that the computer (PC) will go through phases where it becomes specialized units (stereo, DVR, Playstation) but eventually it will all coalesce back into a BOX/UNIT called the PC.
Why?
Becuase people will allways need a Personal Computer and a Jake of all trades.. a slut. The more personal, portable, usable, modular, functional.. the better!
And although I may have a DVR, playstation/XBOX, and a stereo I trust that if truly needed I can pick up my laptop (PC).. And it can function as all three.. Mabey not as usable as the specialized units.. or as functional.. but workable.. for now.
