less than 24 hours....

and it would be taken down for the same reason a million other videos were taken down: copyright infringement

surely this can't be the first time you've heard of that?

Via NPR, I heard that it could be used to take all symptoms of a patient and scan all the medical journals to narrow down the possible problem.

Memory capacity of 15 trillion bytes, that's only 15 terabytes. Considering IMB that really isn't much unless you consider how much .txt could fit in that. If only they would mention "his" processing speed. My guess it's either in petaflops or exaflops, maybe zetta.

ibm blue gene has 40,000 cores and is 90 teraflops. the jeopardy-playing watson is 3,000 cores so it would be a few tflops assuming they scale linearly
