My NOD32 shows there is a VIRUS attached to the download for this URL:
"Variant of Bat/Emaila.D Trojan"

Earlier today I left voicemail at the London offiice phone number which is on website.

Wouldn't it be lovely. ♫

Not to be too panicky but I hope someone keeps an eye on that guy and his dubious experiments, they might expand into areas..
IF this is a real story, because there's a 'professor higgins'? now really.

Let's use OUR brain...

Thru advanced bio-enginering you could produce thousands of organic chips using the amount of live tissue from only one insect brain, so there's no need to build anything close to a "brain farm", which would really be a ethical issue.

The sacrifice of one insect life to generate a large amount of organic chippery would really help we prevent a lot of waste... Imagine: living chips could be so much more specialized, also cooler-runner and energy-efficient, that way we will be using chips that use less energy, and also are by far more easier to recycle, as they are biomass in the core.

Imagine the benefits in Medicine... faster diagnosis, more accurate procedures... and that's just the tip of the iceberg...

It could lead us to a new information era...

New Debugging Opportunities

The great wheel of reincarnation ... is reincarnated. Bugs within bugs ...

'In 1947, engineers working on the Mark II computer at Harvard University found a moth stuck in one of the components. They taped the insect in their logbook and labeled it “first actual case of bug being found.”'

Oh great...

Oh great, now when someone say their computer just died, they'll mean it litterally.

"no religious fundamentalists or animal rights groups made your life a misery over a moth's brain"

I hereby declare the founding moment of the "Free The Brains!" non-profit organization. As president-for-life and sole founding member, I will constantly and continually berate, pester and otherwise badger any and all scientists I find denaturing brains of any kind, as will all of my soon-to-come masses of associates, honorary members and subscribers (only $5 per month, call 1-800-FREETHEBRAINS now !).
The evil scientists will come to fear the masses in favor of freedom for all brains, however small !

Free The Brains!

a sad day for animal rights as hybrid robots sees the light of day...

from the linq:

"a strapped down moth trying to move in a certain direction would actually propel the robot."

if there are no ethical issues with a strapped down moth, there wont be any ethical issues with just about any other living creature the megacorps will later on use as biomachine slaves.

INCLUDING HUMANS.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
