Perhaps it was just a sensationalist spin for the NYT since so many now have iPads at home so the average iJoe will connect with the article (read: Oh I have a dated supercomputer in my hands!). Either way, it still surprised me as the article should have just ended before the laughable suggestion that we tether these chic monitors with a brain together. That was a little disturbing coming from him. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
