Fabulous, fabulous technology from Stanford.
I really enjoyed reading the article until it mentioned the IBM effort.
This is called 'SyNAPSE'. And of course, it's a cute acronym for some b@ll@cks or other. At which stage I lose interest. I mean, it's 2014 and I suppose that the IBM'ers are adults, so seeing drooling, puerile attempts at backronyms for naming a project just makes me want to choke.
The IBM tech may or may not be cool.
I doubt it.
And I don't care.

According to my experience, projects names made up of crap acronyms are much more likely to stick in memory than project named DS3875-T9-#.

Yeah - and these things seem to go in phases.
In the 1980s and early 1990s they were all Roman or Greek gods (Apollo, Pegasus etc.)
Then there were physics related names (Electron, Quantum etc.)
Now biological / neuroscience (Hive, Synapse, Cortex)

What about 'Neurogrid'? That's not a load of drivel.

Still in use at many, many companies.
I don't mind them really as indeed it helps to memorize the content of the project (given it is done properly)

The best (and most ridiculous) Backronym we have was made out of the inventor's first name.

Just nipped out to look at the eclipse before the sun sets behind the hills.
Can hardly read the screen now, for the mass of green and purple dots.
For a safer view, click here[^] (although it seemed to go fizzy a few minutes ago - like someone stood in front of the camera!

Lunar eclipse? Not solar?

No, it was a partial solar eclipse[^]

Whoa. You should never look at those.

Well, depends on the sky conditions, there are times you can look full at the sun and be fine (e.g. at sunset when the air is thick and it's orange). But yeah as a rule looking straight at the sun is a poor idea.
