NASA's much-delayed STS-115 Atlantis Shuttle mission is scheduled to launch early tomorrow morning our time. The conditions at Kennedy Space Center for Friday's launch look promising with only a 30 percent chance that weather could ground the flight.
Flatout spotted some more info about folding on PS3, and a Cell-powered supercomputer in the works. The machine, codenamed Roadrunner, could be four times more potent than the current fastest machine, BlueGene/L, also built by IBM. The new computer is a "hybrid" design, using both conventional supercomputer processors and the new "cell" chip designed for Sony's PlayStation 3.
From Mr -=E=- Man: Yeah, technology is getting smaller..... but it's not so small that this wouldn't be uncomfortable!!! FOUR prisoners in an El Salvador jail hid mobile phones, a phone charger and spare chips in their bowels so they could co-ordinate crimes from their cells, prison officials said today. I'll bet they're just glad they didn't have to do that in the early 90's!
From Slug69: Apple will pay $A131 million to rival Creative Technology to settle patent lawsuits over technology for navigating through songs on the iPod. Does this help settle the Zen vs iPod arguments in the forums?
