This nightmarish 35K computer is powered by a lab-grown human brain

An Australian company called Cortical Labs has developed a computer powered by lab-grown human brain cells, Gizmodo reports. The computer, known as CL1, is described as the world's first "code deployable biological computer" and is now available for pre-order -- for a price in the 35,000 range. Don't want to buy your own device? The company also offers "Wetware-as-a-Service" via which you can rent bio-computer processing power via the cloud. CL1 consists of lab-grown neurons grown on a glass-and-metal electrode array.
