Dog brain plays Quake. Not kidding.
EDIT: Okay, my bad guys. It's fake. Blame my friend Drew. He's the one who sent the link to me. Got to give them credit though, it was pretty well-done. Except for the huge text at the top, but I swear that didn't show up for me at any point. So yes, I fail.
http://home.actlab.utexas.edu/~dbail...ssrelease.html The potential for this is awesome. As the article says: As a living computer, the cells may one day be used control robots to handle dangerous tasks such as navigating complex paths to let bomb squads remotely diffuse a bomb or even to build soldier robots designed to take out entrenched enemies. It rather disappoints me that one of the first things they consider is warfare potential. True, it would be great to spare human lives, but there are other uses for this kind of science. Though you just know that there will be people scared shitless over this, thanks to Hollywood. Apocalypse brought about by dog-brained robots. Not the worst way a race could go, but still, hmm. I honestly doubt it could come to that though. Jam it back in, in the dark.
The above statements may or may not be true.
