iSeries coming back to office



A renaissance for IBM's iSeries? | CNET News.com

Can IBM's legendary iSeries line be the one to help oust the M$ Office?

According to plans, Workplace initiative should do just that.

Help clients be freed from Office's jailhouse and use productivity software that fits their needs - meaning, not paying for all those features that they are never going to use etc.

If it will match the budgets and get enought of ISV support, it might be a good move.

Does anyone even remember, when there were more office suites to consider? -Yes, people, there were times before M$ office! Now we have just freeware or bloatware ... :-))

IBM's BlueGene broken it's own record!



IBM's BlueGene Hits Warp Speed

That's a computing beast: 183.5 teraflops!!! The race is continuing, but IBM is a sure winner in the world of supercomputing. By end of decade we can expect a petaflop machine.

For only $2 million, you can have a 6-teraflop IBM BlueGene/L at home. Nice baby for playing 3D-shooters, huh? :-)))



Nice part-time job for 52 days!
