They gotta mine for metal right; we've only dug up so much.
Who else welcomes our mining robot overlords?

"probably one of the most expensive motherboards in the world"
Somebody said BFL makes these miners. http://www.neural-lotto.net/index.php/en/bitcoin
They're claiming over a million neurons. Right... delivered in the year 3000.

"Inspired by the brain’s structure, we have developed an efficient, scalable, and flexible non–von Neumann architecture that leverages contemporary silicon technology. To demonstrate, we built a 5.4-billion-transistor chip with 4096 neurosynaptic cores interconnected via an intrachip network that integrates 1 million programmable spiking neurons and 256 million configurable synapses. Chips can be tiled in two dimensions via an interchip communication interface, seamlessly scaling the architecture to a cortexlike sheet of arbitrary size. The architecture is well suited to many applications that use complex neural networks in real time, for example, multiobject detection and classification. With 400-pixel-by-240-pixel video input at 30 frames per second, the chip consumes 63 milliwatts." -- IBM
