Cortical Labs released CL1, a bio-computer using 800,000 lab-grown human neurons interfaced on a silicon chip.

Live neurons are sustained for up to 6 months via onboard life-support hardware (nutrients, temperature, waste control). Each neuron batch is donor-derived, enabling use-case variation (e.g., disease modeling, genetic diversity).

What do you think about human brain cells being used on a silicon chip?

1987. Gosh that was a long time ago. Most of the 300+ people working at KCSB-FM in my home town were University students in their 20's but somehow I ended up there due to all the time I had spent in the UCSB computer center nearby. Guess I was fifteen years old in that picture. Had the third or fourth place in management back then as "traffic manager," worked on time slots and content at the station.

This pretty loud, opinionated, yet determined and somewhat nice guy showed up at the University radio station in my home town where I had one of my first jobs. Gave us a big pitch about how he wanted to start broadcasting news commentary. We put him on a morning time slot at the station where he started his first show. His name was Sean Hannity.

Steve Jobs. What a guy.

Sure had an impact on U.S. computer history.
