All the words ever uttered by everyone who ever lived would amount to five exabytes. The speed of discovery leaves even our imaginations behind...
...have completed the reverse engineering of the human brain and will understand its principles of operation. We can then implement similar "biologically inspired" methods of information processing using far more powerful computational technology. This will combine our human strengths in pattern recognition and emotional and artistic intelligence with the speed, capacity and knowledge sharing of machines...
...STYLE The Hyatt Regency in Kathmandu has a swimming pool; the Yak and Yeti has a luxurious reputation. But what Kathmandu's Hotel Vajra lacks in televisions and high-speed Internet connections, it more than makes up for in charm, comfort and personality.

But despite a state-sponsored speed-dating program, surveys show that Singaporeans still have less sex than almost anyone else in the world. The birth rate is languishing at 1.4 children per woman, well below the 2.1 required for a population to replace itself. That's where the Love Boat comes in. The brainchild of self-styled sex guru Dr. Wei Siang Yu, the "Love Boat" package offers couples a boat...
