IBM's eight-core Power7 chip to clock in at 4.0GHz

I thought...

that IBM were already shipping a mix of power/x86. Oh wait, wasn't that RoadRunner?

It's no news that IBM was working on Blue Waters and that it would be terrifying, and I wouldn't be surprised if the actual POWER7 project started out just for this system. IBM cannot afford to lose #1 spot on the top500 for PR, Marketing and investor reasons.

These massive projects, typical of IBM, should be seen as such (though they are really cool machines), so that they can inspire everyone aiming at spots between #10 and #200 to give their hardware budget to IBM.

Actually

Turns out I know half of the guys in the project and stuck up is a good description :D

So they're doing something for themselves, don't want to share with anyone and don't want help. But they made a webpage and wasted the time of people that land there to read it. That sounds a lot like me making a cup of tea for myself and going out of my way to get recognition about it.

Hmm. Maybe all they want is appreciation?

Paris cause she can give quite a bit of appreciation if asked nicely

Lol

How do I file a bug about their bug tracker being offline?

Vodafone sews up iPhone distribution

Actually...

What I know for sure is that TIM will be selling the 3G iPhone in Italy in June.

Oh and ironically Italians should know how to use a mobile phone, since they invented the telephone *and* radio transmission :P
