Henry Markram's recent TED talk on cortical column simulation. Features philosophical drivel of appalling incoherence.

True but the Blue Brain project is still very interesting and is and hopefully will continue to provide interesting results. Whether you agree with his theory or not the technical side of what they are doing is very interesting.
