Hollywood Set Slang & Hierarchical Temporal Memory

Two very interesting, very different articles I came across today that have absolutely nothing to do with each other, but are both worth reading...

Bob Thomas pens an amusing feature for the Associated Press about the history and evolution of Hollywood set slang, which is the subject of Dave Knox's recent book Strike the Baby and Kill the Blonde (a title I quite love).

Meanwhile, Technology Review interviews Palm founder and CTO (and amateur neuroscientist and author of On Intelligence) Jeff Hawkins about his intruiging new theory of the mammalian neocortex, which he dubs "Hierarchical Temporal Memory".
