- copypastry, on 07/08/2009, -2/+24More rumblings of the singularity. This is amazing *****.
- fragMasterFlash, on 07/09/2009, -0/+15So how soon until mind altering intoxicants come with DRM?
- bsamuels453, on 07/09/2009, -0/+15there are a LOT of people out there that could use a LOT of these
- Xaevier, on 07/08/2009, -0/+8Take that mom! Now just wait until they mass produce livers and binge drinking will hit whole new levels!
- SQLDigger, on 07/08/2009, -0/+7Cool. This could really help a lot of people someday.
- eyepennies, on 07/09/2009, -0/+6So yesterday they created the first sperm cell, and today the first brain cell. There's gotta be a joke in here somewhere.
- Khast, on 07/09/2009, -0/+6Well, for men, they are one in the same. /s
- copypastry, on 07/09/2009, -0/+5No, it will be ubiquitous, although not instantaneous.
No, it will be self sustaining. - inactive, on 07/09/2009, -1/+5Now if they could just get enough of them together to donate to Sarah Palin. She needs them.
- singletask, on 07/09/2009, -1/+4Will the elite soon create their own servant class from scratch making the rest of humanity obsolete?
- wezel, on 07/09/2009, -0/+3But can they replace all the brain cells i killed last night??
- forcwithu, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2I wonder how much longer we'll be able to live as we keep these advances up?
- ajft, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2There are a LOT of people out there that could use ONE of these
- GeekOut, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2Yesterday, it was scientists making sperm cells - unfortunately, as usual, the brain cells show up after the sperm cells do.
- kinerry, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2This is how the machines were born...
- Chris_F, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2Audio directly into your brain...
In before audiophiles and monster cables. - JasonCox, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2Bio-nueral gelpacks here we come!
- inactive, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2Jodie Marsh has placed a bid for it.
- Rain12913, on 07/09/2009, -1/+3What the hell are you talking about? DNA removed? Where does it say anything about that?
Also, Humanoid is taxonomic term that refers to certain members of the genus *****. - s4g4n, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2Blondes will naturally reject these brain cells also.
- norwegianlegion, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2All right, this is, what, the third "Holy *****, humanity!" breakthrough science has for us in, what, two days? We already don't need men to reproduce, fetuses to craft stem cells, and now we have the potential to repair brain damage/enhance performance AND have taken a great leap towards biomechanical engineering? Jesus, you gotta spread it out a little. Science needs a collective PR group.
- yaosio, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2It will be expensive in the same way computers are expensive.
- inactive, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2"...could one day be used to treat devastating neurological diseases."
Yeah sure that's what it's for. - Modulo, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2Ironically, the only implants that don't seem to take.
- fragMasterFlash, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2But you have got to drive those signals into your brain with a vacuum tube amplifier if you want the true audiophile experience ;-)
- sb66, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2Positronic brains coming up.
- mrpunman, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2So this is how Artificial Intelligence is born
- hazelnoot, on 07/09/2009, -1/+3Apple just launched their brand new IBrain. Microsoft is countering with Grey stuff 7. I opted for Firethought though.
- inactive, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2Spams gay^
I know a lot of people who could really use some spare brains cells.... - gg77, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2lets ban it cause god doesnt like it. /s/ ***** *****
- notoneofus, on 08/26/2009, -0/+1They could go for efficiency and sell brain-cell enhanced beer.
- Rain12913, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1Making the rest of humanity obsolete? Are you referring to the people who make up the "servant class" now? If so, they wouldn't become obsolete, their lives would become enriched.
Anyway, to answer your question: No. - Bunyatto, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1This is awesome news. I wonder if something like this could help someone with tourette's syndrome as well. I hope so.
- Spartandog, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1And Cyberdyne Systems bought the patent... no wait it was the Tyrell Corporation.
- Ansemx2, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1One step closer to a cyber brain, like Ghost in the Shell
- firebat9er, on 07/09/2009, -1/+2droppin' some knowledge son
- ladyattis, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1Oh wow it's ama-WHERE IS SARAH CONNOR?
- yaosio, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1Now they just need to increase reliability and make them easily replaceable by the body or some other method and we can slowly turn out brains into this. And then I will rule the world! Mwahahaha
- copypastry, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1You're better off without them wezel.
The ones you killed were the weak ones. Only strong ones left. - WocCixelsyd, on 07/10/2009, -0/+1GET DRUNK
*advice dog*
REPLACE BRAIN CELLS - toniax, on 07/08/2009, -1/+1ok.
i'm gonna sell "DNA dimensional expanding" soon if things continue to go that fast !!! - gfelstein55, on 07/09/2009, -1/+1Wow!!! It's great news. Our scientists are really great...
- inactive, on 08/06/2009, -1/+1"*****? I never even hugged my father!"
- drsolace, on 07/09/2009, -0/+0I'd say they'd start with Military and then go from there
- yaosio, on 07/09/2009, -1/+1The joke is your posting.
- GoHabsGo, on 07/09/2009, -0/+0This article is terribly written. The artificial cell is very poorly explained... very, very cool though.
- DavidNiven, on 07/09/2009, -5/+4...and have been testing thousands of them in Nancy Pelosi's head for several months now. Results are inconclusive.
