Anyway, what caught my attention, was the Web Bot project. Originally used for predicting stock market changes, but it actually started to live it's own life and it predicted, for example, the 9/11 (and other events), hurricane Cathrine and others. So it's actually some kind of future prediction software and it's result are quite impressive. I think it's quite intriguing what is internet capable after few years of it's existence, it actually evolved to some kind of collective consciousness of human kind (not that there are no other similar sources, but only this one is human made), you just need to know how to read it. I think it's like one of the wonders of the World, it's just not another building :)
Now, let's try to imagine this couple of years in future when HW will be much faster then now, iternet will be much bigger (so more neurons to the master brain :)) etc. (Of course if 2012 won't be THAT harsh :P)

Actually this vid is proof that McDs is making all those sweet, yummy "meals" from oil ;)
EDIT* Just checked some related vids to that up there. Found this:

I've just read something about daytime naps. I love them. My employer not. Sad.
But now I know that guys working in Hong Kong, (or was it Vietnam?) who had their very own after lunch naps, are really happy. Also study i've read states that this datime-napping can help your memory. Yes yes! I want it! It's healthy!

Not really useful if you're working with high numbers, but still it's really good math trick :)
