The article has interesting numbers on the performance/price (price in the power consumption and maintenance sense) ratios for the two machines. As an aside... 'Deep Blue', 'Green Blade' ... wonder what Google Sets would think of that..."

"The NY Times (registration required, mumble... mutter..."

I really wonder what the NYT logfile-monkeys think when they see a zillion 'mumble/mutter' login attempts...
