IBM Working on Brain-Rivaling Computer

Obdurate writes "The first supercomputers to approach and even surpass the processing power of the human brain are to be built by IBM, under a $184M contract announced by the US Government yesterday. ASCI Purple and Blue Gene/L will be the fastest and most powerful machines built, with a combined capacity equal to the 500 best of todays computers."

IBM's Brain computer is Dying.

It is official; Netcraft now confirms: IBMs_Brain is dying

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered IBMs_Brain community when IDC confirmed that IBMs_Brain market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent. Coming close on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that IBMs_Brain has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. IBMs_Brain is collapsing in complete disarray.

You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict IBMs_Brain's future. The hand writing is on the wall: IBMs_Brain faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for IBMs_Brain because IBMs_Brain is dying. Things are looking very bad for IBMs_Brain. As many of us are already aware, IBMs_Brain continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

All major surveys show that IBMs_Brain has steadily declined in market share. IBMs_Brain is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If IBMs_Brain is to survive at all it will be among dilettante dabblers. IBMs_Brain continues to decay. Nothing short of a cockeyed miracle could save IBMs_Brain from its fate at this point in time. For all practical purposes, IBMs_Brain is dead.
