Interesting... especially how they estimated it! What'd they do, run Mac OS 2 on an ant's brain?

This was such a good argument from both sides that I decided to make it a poll. Hope that isn't considered spamming.

No, I think they compared the computers intelligence with the ant's intelligence in a labyrinth or something like that...

Or...what do I know... I like science...

No they compared the processing power, how many calculations a Apple II could do compared to a ant.

I wonder how they did find out how good a ant's brain is...
