Let’s start today with something  amazing: the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) published a landmark paper entitled “Network architecture of the long-distance pathways in the macaque brain” (an open-access paper) by Dharmendra S. Modha (IBM Almaden) and Raghavendra Singh (IBM Research-India), with some major implications for reverse-engineering the brain and developing a network of cognitive-computing chips. Great stuff! After that, from Lookout comes the interesting App Genome Project, and then we get to know the Most Influential Female Voices on the Web, with a help from Access Communications. And to finish this selection, The New York Times infographic, comparing the costs of America’s Wars, and a controversial inside look on the Glenn Beck Goldline Scheme, found on The Big Picture.
