For all those bio-kids out there who like Macs, well now you can have your x-grid computing power, and not pay an arm and a leg for it (although you will have to delve into linux a litte). This cool new program allows linux and unix machines to interface with a Mac controlled x-grid cluster, making it suddenly a lot cheaper to add a few under $300 Dell systems to your cluster. Of course, the pure of heart will use Linux and a Mosix cluster, avoiding the whole Mac business alltogether. Home-brew BLAST servers anyone? Interestingly, they use the same program (POV-Ray) to test their cluster that I did when I was keen on building Mosix clusters back in the day!
Also, apparently these crazy little cars are going to start selling sometime this summer. They sort of look like a duck to me, cool mind you, but cool like a duck. I would probably still drive one (I'm sure girls would flock like mississippi-moths to a candle, after all Austin Powers drove one right?). The real question is which color? And do they come in a pack like skittles candies?
