Clustered 64 bit computers with up to 16 AMD Opterons in one machine: nice!

Yup, it’s on the streets now!

AMD to follow next year.

The clever cloggs at IBM have managed to find a way to slow down light to 1/300th its normal speed, which allows it to be manageable enough to use it to impart information inside computer chips. They still need to find a way to mass produce the opticals, and of course for these new architechtures they’ll need to create entirely new OSses but the idea is cool.

That’s fast!

Well, this is a piece I wrote up on the difference between the two words, as I’m of the opinion that it’s basically just a hyped up thing going down, but Emerce has picked up on it and is inviting discussion – Go me!

Make your own endoscope for $800,- using a lens, webcam, PC and scope (it’s the scope that costs $800). 2 years of research! I want to look in my body!
Who can find the HOWTO?

With pictures how to do it – stream broadband TV, mp3s etc etc etc. Looks great!

Bad vibes man, bad vibes! Dude, I’ve been telling all and sundry this for years, but now apparently they have some science to back it up (even if no-one believes them still!)

Who needs a keydrive when you can keep information on your fingernail for a full six months (the time it takes for your fingernail to completely regrow)?

Built on linux 2.6, X11 and GTK+. Sweet.
With Bluetooth, 802.11b/g and USB.

A big explanation and review of budget LCDs

Embedded linux on the size of an RJ-45 connector!

Forget cables and bluetooth – 2MBps using your skin!

Sony, Toshiba and IBM have been quietly developing a new vector-based processing architecture which promises to trash anything Intel and AMD have up their sleeves. This guy has read the patent applications and makes some predictions on what we’re going to be seeing in the PS3.

If this is too hard, then Penny Arcade might do a better job at explaining it for you.
