IBM Unveils Chip Prototypes That Mimic Human Brain |
|
IBM says the prototype “cognitive computing” chips are designed to act like a brain—to quickly collect and analyze information, make decisions based on the findings and to learn from its mistakes. IBM researchers have created prototype computing chips that mirror the human brain, enabling them to not only collect and analyze information, but essentially learn from their mistakes, understand the data they’re seeing and react accordingly.
The “cognitive computing” chips are able to recognize patterns and make predictions based on data, learn through experiences, find correlations among the information, and remember outcomes, according to IBM officials.

It may look like iPad 1.5 rather than iPad 2, but critics have so far lavished praise on Apple's new wundertablet, which is thinner, lighter and faster than the first iPad.
Analysts say the incremental update will be enough to cement Apple's technical superiority in the tablet space, which has seen a raft of new competitors in recent months. Apple already controls 90 per cent of the tablet market, so competing models based on Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows platforms face an uphill battle.
The new iPad 2 is lighter (590 grams versus 680 grams) and thinner (from 13.4mm to 8.8mm) than its predecessor and boasts significant upgrades such as a new A5 dual-core processor, more internal memory, faster graphics and dual front and rear-facing cameras.

The opposition treasury spokesman late yesterday told ABC Radio's Triple J that if elected the Coalition would scrap the filter scheme.
But even if Labor won the August 21 poll, the Coalition would not back the filter legislation.

HP rocks Redmond with webOS PC play |
|
By Rik Myslewski in San Francisco
When the world's largest computer maker announced that it plans to equip laptops and desktops with its own operating system, you can be sure that the squeals emanating from Redmond's corner offices were not squeals of delight. And we're guessing the denizens of Cupertino's executive suites pricked up their ears as well.
On Wednesday morning, at a press event unveiling its new webOS-based TouchPad and a pair of webOS phones, HP said that it would bring its Palm-acquired operating system "to the HP devices with the broadest reach," meaning PCs. And Just to make sure that no one missed the implications of that blockbuster,Todd Bradley, executive vice president of HP's personal systems group, stood in front of a slide that included images of laptop and desktop PCs with "HP webOS" emblazoned on their displays.
