- A link to a “Matrix-like learning” study was shared: scientists demonstrated skill acquisition via decoded fMRI neurofeedback without conscious effort (article at truththeory.com and NSF video at nsf.gov/news/news_images.jsp?cntn_id=122523).  
- The channel experienced a small influx of new participants after a Reddit post on /r/transhuman directed users to ##hplusroadmap.  
- Discussion of cross-platform mobile-app frameworks centered on the trade-offs between PhoneGap and Appcelerator Titanium for rapid MVP development on iOS, Android, and BlackBerry.  
- Participants expressed skepticism about Titanium’s stability and long-term viability, citing a critical blog post (usingimho.wordpress.com/2011/06/14/why-you-should-stay-away-from-appcelerators-titanium/) and its comment thread.  
- Consensus emerged that BlackBerry’s declining consumer market share makes it a low-priority target for new frameworks, despite its continued enterprise presence.
