Sony smartly hacks $100 off of its mylo 2 before the holidays
Filed under: Handhelds
We don’t have any hard sales figures in front of us or anything, but we can’t imagine that Sony has moved too many (or just two, actually) of its mylo 2 “Internet Devices” since launching it this past January. To that end, the outfit is hacking a full Benjamin from the purchase price, bringing the handheld down to an entirely more palatable $199.99. Both the black and white versions are being sold right now with the instant rebate tacked on, and the offer is good until January 31st of next year — which definitely means the mylo 3 is due for a February 1, 2009 release.

Cray supercomputer is world’s fastest (that we’re allowed to know about)
Filed under: Desktops
Seattle-based Cray has been wowing us with massive, ridiculously fast supercomputers since the ’70s, establishing a position for its machines high on every geek’s most wanted list — despite never publishing a Doom benchmark. In recent years the title of “world’s fastest” supercomputer had been lost by the company, ping-ponging from Wako, Japan to Armonk, NY, but is now back in Cray’s hands with the implementation of the XT Jaguar. It’s comprised of over 45,000 quad-core Opteron processors, 362GBTB of memory, and has a 10PB (petabyte) storage array, able to perform calculations at a massive 1.64 petaflops. That’s over one and a half quadrillion operations per second and more than 50 percent faster than IBM’s previous heavyweight. Mind you, Cray is quick to point out that this is the fastest machine being used for non-classified research, a caveat that just makes us even more curious about what’s keeping the Pentagon’s server rooms warm and loud… and apparently orange.
Update: That should be 362 terabytes of memory, not mere gigabytes.
