POPS2000 Year Old Human Brain Found
It's hard to believe that the soft matter inside our brains could even survive for one year, once the body dies. But here it is, a 2000 year old severed human head with brain intact. If there will ever be a way to uncover the entire secrets of the Homo sapien evolution from its very beginnings to today's modern man, it will be through archaeological finds such as this. Isn't that exciting? Makes you a little bit annoyed at your mortality because it will be future generations who will be privy to such enlightenment. "Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles!" :-p That's the way the cookie crumbles. (British, American & Australian, informal, American, informal) Something that you say which means that bad things sometimes happen and there is nothing you can do to prevent it, so it is not worth becoming upset about it. i.e. A:" Well, I asked Cindy out, and she told me to swallow my head . . " B:"Hey, that's the way the cookie crumbles!" From: http://www.urbandictionary.com

POPSGoogle's Secret Weapon: MapReduce As the inventors of MapReduce noted in a recent paper, "It has been used across a wide range of domains within Google including: large-scale machine learning problems; clustering problems...; extracting data to produce reports of popular queries; extracting properties of Web pages for new experiments and products...; processing of satellite imagery data; language model processing for statistical machine translation, and; large-scale graph computation." Or in other words, the tasks Google performs are similar to the functions performed by the brain: learning, categorization, vision and language.
