Jeff Hawkins Develops a Brainy Big Data Company

Jeff Hawkins Develops a Brainy Big Data Company. "Mr. Hawkins, who helped develop the technology in Palm, an early and successful mobile device, is a co-founder of Numenta, a predictive software company. Numenta’s technology is based on Mr. Hawkins’s theories of how the brain works, a subject he has studied and published on intensively. Perhaps most important for the technology industry, the product works off streams of real-time information from sensors, not the trillions of bytes of data that companies are amassing."

I read his book On Intelligence and I often remember one of his examples. You probably without realizing it towel yourself dry using the same pattern every morning. Now I realize it. Just the other day I remembered this and wondered what Hawkins was up to.
