Well - the first thing you should know: FoxNews, itself, admits it's not a news station. I've seen them speaking in absolute contradiction to reality. That, along with speculation built upon innuendo but softly tempered by the open-toed jackboots worn by their cache of blonds.
Now, I admit that BBC, SkyNews, and the lot are full of crap, too, often lying by omission (particularly in middle eastern matters). In a way, they're worse in that they claim veracity in their presentation.
The only useful purpose for FoxNews is fodder for late-night comics - nothing more.

Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors.” Such “supervisors” deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun /xml>

It is not a quad-core computer - the comparison will be good to get money from investors, but also very misleading. Try installing Windows on there. Try have them compute "1+1".
Even that last is not possible; the four brains simply work together in doing as they did before - guessing the weather.

Did you even read the article? I think "computational problems like discrete classification, image processing, [etc]" are slightly more advanced than 1+1.

I read that part too, and I still stand by every word in this thread.
So, you were explaining?

Children! Children! Settle down! Someone mentions the name of a news outlet and its like throwing a squirrel in a piranha tank!
Is there not one of you who is even remotely interested in the OP's observation that Duke Univ just flippin' wired four brains together?

Exactly.

I don't normally surf the net for synophrys, but when I do, eye brows…

Perhaps, but his post lens itself to that type of response.

He's certainly a man of vision - if I'd blinked I'd have missed that.

True enough, hope he doesn't put a lid on these posts.

I hate to be pedantic (well, I'd like you to think I hate it anyway) but surely the whole point about synophrys is that it isn't eye brows at all!

Do you really think someone nose what the word means without looking it up? 
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.
