I always get into this debate of mind vs. brain (mostly with non-techies). Being an AI/Neuroscience student and researcher, I am fairly convinced that mind is nothing but a physical synonym for the working of our neocortex. Does anyone in this community believe that mind is formless, non-physical, separate from the brain and thus can never be completely simulated? If yes, why?
I was thinking of ways to display G+ stream on your facebook wall for fun. One way is to auto-forward all emails from gmail to your facebook email. However, facebook APIs don't seem to support IMAP/POP. Any other ways of reading facebook emails (with authentication) within a facebook app?
