The simulated brain one sounds cool. If we could simulate human brains, big companies could outsource tech support to multi-lingual robots. I doubt any simulation will ever be able to invent a super human mind, but it could probably invent optimized simulation designs to make the "brain" run faster or using less processing power. If it could learn enough to understand its simulated mind enough to know exactly what parts of the virtual mind do what, it could probably invent a new simulated mind that can do math and all sorts of computations or physics simulations really fast, so it would be able to learn or test ideas it comes up very quickly.
click your link, i dare you ! ( the site seems to check the referer and will point to the ugly add infested version if you are not refered by their website)

This is assuming we survive the zombie-pocalypse.

they didn't give it away. their idea for the modern GUI was stolen by Apple before the era of patent-happy lawsuits.

Someone please put that text together, and include a few pictures, then host it somewherePCmag - I see why its not called PCweb

Nothing on biodegradable computing and smart plants?Neoton and Cell processors are a start. However processors that provide results before the processing are required . . .<a class="user" href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/01/21/ING5LNJSBF1.DTL">http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/01/21/ING5LNJSBF1.DTL</a>oh well there is always tomorrow<a class="user" href="http://tmxxine.com/Wikka/">http://tmxxine.com/Wikka/</a>

Not really. The math people would be excited, but there wouldn't necessarily be any practical effect.
