Technology Market / Elon Musk Is Making Implants To Link The Brain With A Smartphone by omenti(m): 6:10pm On Jul 17, 2019
London (CNN Business) - Elon Musk wants to insert Bluetooth-enabled implants into your brain, claiming the devices could enable telepathy and repair motor function in people with injuries.

Speaking on Tuesday, the CEO of Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX said his Neuralink devices will consist of a tiny chip connected to 1,000 wires measuring one-tenth the width of a human hair.

The chip features a USB-C port, the same adapter used by Apple's (AAPL) Macbooks, and connects via Bluebooth to a small computer worn over the ear and to a smartphone, Musk said.

"If you're going to stick something in a brain, you want it not to be large," Musk said, playing up the device's diminutive size.

Neuralink, a startup founded by Musk, says the devices can be used by those seeking a memory boost or by stroke victims, cancer patients, quadriplegics or others with congenital defects.

The company says up to 10 units can be placed in a patient's brain. The chips will connect to an iPhone app that the user can control.

The devices will be installed by a robot built by the startup. Musk said the robot, when operated by a surgeon, will drill 2 millimeter holes in a person's skull. The chip part of the device will plug the hole in the patient's skull.

"The interface to the chip is wireless, so you have no wires poking out of your head. That's very important," Musk added.

Trials could start before the end of 2020, Musk said, likening the procedure to Lasik eye correction surgery, which requires local anesthetic.
Musk has said this latest project is an attempt to use artificial intelligence (AI) to have a positive affect on humanity. He has previously tried to draw attention to AI's potential to harm humans.

He has invested some $100 million in San Francisco-based Neuralink, according to the New York Times.
Musk's plan to develop human computer implants comes on the heels of similar efforts by Google (GOOGL) and Facebook (FB). But critics aren't so sure customers should trust tech companies with data ported directly from the brain.

"The idea of entrusting big enterprise with our brain data should create a certain level discomfort for society," said Daniel Newman, principal analyst at Futurum Research and co-author of the book Human/Machine.

"There is no evidence that we should trust or be comfortable with moving in this direction," he added.
While the technology could help those with some type of brain injury or trauma, "Gathering data from raw brain activity could put people in great risk, and could be used to influence, manipulate and exploit them," Frederike Kaltheuner of Privacy International told CNN Business. "Who has access to this data? Is this data shared with third parties? People need to be in full control over their data."

The tech industry is coming under heightened scrutiny over how it handles data.

France fined Google parent company Alphabet in January for violating EU online privacy rules. Facebook reportedly faces a major fine in the United States over its own data privacy violations.

Tesla has also suffered data leaks. In 2018, researchers at security firm RedLock said Tesla's cloud storage was breached to mine cryptocurrency.

The IMN leader, his wife, Yahaya and Abdulqadir were charged for alleged conspiracy, abating culpable homicide among other related offences.

Politics / Offa Bank Robbery: Gov. Ahmed’s Aide, Alabi Gets Interim Bail by omenti(m): 4:13pm On Aug 02, 2018
Offa bank robbery: Gov. Ahmed’s aide, Alabi gets interim bail

By Akinyemi Demola
Ilorin – Justice I.A. Yusuf of the Kwara State High Court in Ilorin Thursday granted an interim bail of N20million to Olalekan Alabi, the Personal Assistant on Political Matters to Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed.

Alabi has been in police custody in Abuja since 30 May, 2018 following his arrest over his alleged link with Offa banks armed robbery suspects.

The judge granted the bail after carefully considering the oral application for bail made by Alabi’s counsel, Mr Adebayo Adelodun (SAN) and the response of Adekunle Iwalaye, who is the counsel to the respondent, Inspector General of Police, Idris Ibrahim.

Adelodun had on 27 July, 2018 moved an exparte motion praying for the release of his client from police custody.

But the presiding judge failed to give any ruling, and ordered the respondent to appear in court today to show cause why the prayer sought in the application should not be granted.

Consequently, counsel to the respondent, Adekunle Iwalaye filed an affidavit to show cause why the governor’s aide should not be released from police custody, which was discountenanced by the court.

Delivering his ruling, Justice Yusuf ordered that Olalekan Alabi be released on interim bail in the sum of N20million with two reliable sureties in the like sum.

“The plaintiff in this suit is hereby granted an interim bail by this honourable court to the sum of N20M” He ruled.

He also ruled that the sureties must be civil servants with the Kwara State Government and must not be below the ranks of Directors.

The judge thereafter, adjourned the case to 22 October, 2018 for hearing.

Sports / Re: Messi May Be More Talented But Ronaldo Is Simply A Better Player by omenti(m): 11:48am On Jun 04, 2017
humilitypays:
No, Ronaldo is just too lucky, no special talent in his footballing skill....he can't dribble, can't do leg-over, can't skip, etc but can run....he is just lucky that after his teammates finishes the job, he will be at the right place at the right time to kick the ball into the net.

Messi is skillful, talented but not as lucky as Cristiano Ronaldo...Arjen Robben is even more gifted than Cristiano, but luck has never been on his side just like Garreth B.....no wonder the Bible said, the race is not for the swift nor the wise, but of God who showeth mercy....grace is all we need to succeed in life not even talent cos so many talented people are hungry and wasting while some fortunate people are making it big like my uncle Goodluck Jonathan who operates under the power of grace and divine favor!

God is also favoring Cristiano because he is so kind and generous; all his childhood friends are feeding and balling with his wealth...he takes care of them and many more unlike Messi and other stingy people who don't know that God blessed them to bless people around them....God loves kind and generous people but hates prideful, pompous and wicked people, even if they prosper, their success doesn't last like kind/generous people, be kind to your friends and family from today if God has blessed usmiley
