NEC has just announced a new world’s fastest supercomputer, the model SX-8. Just last month, IBM unveiled the Blue Gene/L which (temporarily) took the top spot away from NEC.
NEC’s new machine performs at 65 trillion calculations per second, as compared to the 36.01 teraflops for IBM.
IBM is planning a souped-up version of the Blue Gene/L for 2005 availability which is expected to perform at 360 teraflops.

The beta release of the Google Desktop Search is finally here.
This should improve the speed and accuracy of searches of your own computer.
The PDA is so obsolete, but they keep coming out with these nice new models, such as the QWERTY-keyboarded SL-C3000 from Sharp.
This is a Linux-based PDA (os = Lineo uLinux) in a clamshell design with a 4GB hdd (a 1st for a PDA). It has a full VGA touch-screen at 640×480, 3.7 inch & 65k colors. Supports MP3/WMA and MPEG-4 formats. Provides IM and e-mail functionality via Wi-Fi and a web browser and supports Word and Excel file formats. Wireless is not built-in, but can be added via an SD or CF card. Seems like a not-bad device.
Ukranian fashion designer Andre Tan’s new line of fall shoes look very comfortable as well as being certifiably “green”. 
Mileage and durability might be problematic, though.
