Stanford University’s Experiment Shows Writing Via Speech Recognition Is Now Up To Three Times Faster And More Accurate Than Typing (Video)
September 7, 2016
You’ve watched the Star Trek shows, or any number of sci-fi programs or movies where people talk to computers in natural language… and the computer UNDERSTANDS and responds QUICKLY? Well, in the real world, we are getting there fast! Stanford ran an experiment that compared the speed and accuracy of computers producing the printed word from voice sources (e.g. people speaking) vs. typing.
In a recent experiment, Stanford researchers found that Baidu’s speech recognition software composes text messages three times faster and is more accurate than human typists.
Incredible!

New Drug Can Reportedly Kill Seven Cancers With One Method (Video)
August 19, 2013
Breast cancer, ovary cancer, colon cancer, bladder cancer, brain cancer, liver cancer, prostate cancer… CURED! How’s that for a headline? Well, Irving Weissman’s team at Stanford Medical School is seeing success on that front in the early testing stages (with mice) of a cancer vaccine that is more method than med. In a nutshell, cancer cells cloak themselves from antibodies that would kill them with a “do not eat me” protein marker (researchers call it CD47). Weissman’s research is testing a cure strategy that customizes antibodies to stick to and turn off those markers. Then the body’s immune system can target and destroy the cancerous cells.

January 22, 2013
#$%! it! I’m doing this! Either you know, or will come to know, that I am a proud lifelong scholar and two-time (two-time) graduate of The University of Alabama. A state school. Can I handle coursework from the vaunted Stanford University? I’m about to find out! You can, too… for FREE. But I don’t want you to see this as a hook-up. View it as a challenge…CHALLENGE! Let’s do this. I’m asking and hollering like Jerry Maguire: Who’s coming with me?!?
The course ‘Introduction to Logic’ – by Associate Professor Michael Genesereth from Stanford University – will be offered free of charge to everyone on the Coursera platform. Sign up at http://www.coursera.org/course/intrologic

Ray Lewis Gives Stanford Mens Basketball Team A ‘Pissed Off For Greatness’ Pep Talk (Video)
March 29, 2012
Ray Lewis made a surprise visit to the Stanford Men’s basketball team before their NIT matchup on Tuesday. After hearing this “Pissed Off For Greatness” speech from Ray Lewis the Stanford Cardinals went out and defeated UMass 74-64. I’m not surprised……Ray Lewis peps talks to his team before games can get someone hyped to do damn near anything. It’s one of the reasons the Baltimore Ravens have been so competitive as an NFL franchise. Shieeeeeeeeeeet….after watching this speech I’m doing pushups right now…..
