I agree with you my friend on the google part. I would suggest IBM to be the best in making the human brain anytime. I don't know what 'intelligence' means to other people, but I will be happy with the part where one can do the work better than the average person's ability. Emotional intelligence is important but if my computer does software development for me with its thinking, then that's good enough for me.
Hope that happens in 5 years..Anyone aware who is trying to build a huuman-brain simulator besides IBM?
