*tinfoil*

Robotic vision is one of that last main things that is keeping us from real, functioning, war fighting robots. Do we want the military to have this first?

Obviously, true intelligence will be the final step in our Terminator style demise.

I really thought it was a Slayer themed iPad. As in, "unHoly iPad: The Slayer. The first themed iPad - and first to device to block all Christian communications!"

Submission + - The Brain's Secret for Sleeping Like a Log (wired.com)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Monday August 09, 2010 @04:25PM

An anonymous reader writes: Why can some people sleep through anything? According to this article in Wired Science, some lucky people have a bonus helping of a certain kind of brain static that essentially blocks out noise and other stimuli. These "sleep spindles" can be detected via EEG, and show up as brief bursts of high-frequency brain waves; some people naturally produce more than others. The researchers say these spindles are produced by the thalamus, the brain region that acts as a waystation for sensory information. If the thalamus is busy producing sleep spindles, sensory information can't make it through the thalamus to the cortex, the perceptive part of the brain.
