Pay for Music Videos




Steve Jobs models a new video ipod helmet that extends ten feet into the air at Apple Headquarters in Cupertino today. Though cumbersome, experts believe the helmet, the latest in a long line of 'insanely great' products from Apple, may help avert the early stages of memory loss, particularly brought on by sudden falls and/or leaps of faith..."Guess what," said Steve, "This is pretty cool. Not only is an individual's cognitive ability preserved, but we also enable for the first time personal broadcasting of your favorite artists - so everyone in the room, subway, or stadium can see and hear the essence of your tastes - for example, the great Bono, poet laureate -it's your own personal Times Square billboard."

Site changes and integration




As you can see here
, changes are afoot on the site.

(1) We continue the integration of the test site with our content and registration site

(2) We are adding new surveys and games constantly, such as beta amyloid blaster and the Natrol brainspeed blaster...

Try the Survey

Here's your chance. Just click here and type in your idea...I'll post every reasonable idea right here and then we'll hold an election.

Pick the Cognitive Labs mascot


College teams and sometimes, sophomoric companies have mascots...

Let's see, a charging buffalo, a barking dog (several: huskies, dawgs, etc.)a redwood tree (or just a color), a powder blue teddy bear, a warrior in glinting armor atop a horse, a cyclone, various insects ('jackets, slugs (UC Santa Cruz)) and even an Anteater.

A few years back, companies even started having mascots:

There was a butler (recently pensioned to the beaches of Cornwall after getting a pink slip from Barry Diller), a gerbil and cannon act, imaginary money (flooz, beenz, etc.)

I remember sitting at World Wrap in Palo Alto having a veggie sandwich when two guys dressed as 'beenz' walked by.

There was even a sock puppet that made TV appearances. What do you think? Should we get an orange sock puppet as a mascot? I don't want to influence the vote in what will be an exclusively write-in process. From amongst the ideas we collect on our survey page we will run an election where you will be able to vote on the candidates. I suggest checking back today and participating in the preliminary idea selection....
