IBM Touts Supercomputers for Enterprise

Stony Stevenson writes "IBM has announced an initiative to offer smaller versions of its high-performance computers to enterprise customers. The first new machine is a QS22 BladeCenter server powered by a Cell processor. Developed to power gaming systems, the Cell chip has also garnered interest from the supercomputing community owing to its ability to handle large amounts of floating point calculations. IBM hopes that the chips, which currently power climate modeling and other traditional supercomputing tasks, will also appeal to customers ranging from financial analysis firms to animation studios."

Really, editors.

Seriously, editors, this is Slashfuckingdot. If there is a single place on the whole internet where you need to be more careful about throwing around the capitalized word 'Enterprise', point me there, please.

For future reference, this also goes for the terms 'Serenity','Falcon', and 'Nebuchadnezzar.'
