Gizmo’s and Gadgets

NEC is the new super computer king. For now that is. They just launched the SX-9, a slick new super computer that is capable of 839 trillion floating point operations per second. Thats 839 teraflops in technology terms. This wonder will be on display in Reno, Nevada. Gizmodo cracked a good joke about why it’s on displey there : so that after the exhibition it will be shipped straight to Area51 to help find the aliens. Good one.
