With the upcoming release of the new Windows High Performance Computing 64 bit Server OS that targets clusters and supercomputers, the big daddy of movie animators, Pixar, has committed to upgrading to this version for rendering their animated flix. I guess now they can leverage thousands of processor cores and have plenty of headroom for that next Toy Story.

From The Future of Things (w/ pics!):
Researchers at the Donald Lab at Duke University have built miniature robots, only a few microns tall, capable of acting in concert to achieve collaborative tasks. This ability was recently demonstrated by orchestrating a dance to a Strauss Waltz between two of the spatula-shaped constructs. The group has tied as many as five robots together under a single universal control, the most complex system of untethered microscopic robots ever created.
A body that may very well be the body of the creature commonly known as “Bigfoot” has been found in the woods in northern Georgia.
DNA evidence and photo evidence of the creature will be presented in a press conference on Friday, August 15th from 12 Noon to 1:00pm at the Cabana Hotel-Palo Alto at 4290 El Camino Real in Palo Alto, California, 94306. The press conference will not be open to the public. It will only be open to credentialed members of the press.
Vital statistics on the body they’ve recovered:
- 7 ft tall
- Weighs over 500 pounds
- male
- Reddish hair
- Black/Grey eyes
- 5 fingers/toes
The creature was found by Matthew Whitton (AKA Gary Parker) and Rick Dyer (residents of Georgia) in the woods in northern Georgia. The exact location is being kept secret to protect the creatures.
HSBC, a global banking company with roughly 300,000 employees worldwide, currently has about 200,000 RIM blackberry devices issued to employees. It uses them to help the staff stay connected to their mail and calendar.
Arstechnica is reporting that HSBC is now seriously considering switching to iPhones now that it includes Microsoft Exchange support and other enterprisey features like remote-wipe and manageability.
If they do switch, would this may help legitimize iPhone in the enterprise and begin the death knell for Blackberry? Or is it a ‘drop in the bucket’?
Nothing can travel faster than light, right? Physicists appear to have accomplished it though by entangling two photons at a quantum level, then sending them down two separate fiber cables 18 miles away and found they were sharing state information 100,000 times faster than the speed of light.
