Actually it was Apple who followed other companies with their xserver. Many other companies, even small ones, had developed 1U servers before Apple 'defined the future of computing'. To add on top of that this is Apple's first cluster computer to be put on the Top 500 list, after hundreds of other clusters have already made the list. Doesn't sound real revolutionary to me.
What's the average length of a day? Something like 23 hours, 59 minutes and 56 seconds or something like that. Which is why we have a leap year:
Wouldn't this calculation end up giving us one day shorter eventually to even out. The reason for leap year is because the average year is 365 and a quarter so we need an extra day every four years to even things out.
In addition to your previous story it has been confirmed in a rescent poll that a majority of Slashdot readers are, yes, jealous. Because we all know that if you were in Bill Gates shoes nothing would be different, except for maybe Microsoft would then be failing.
Hell ya dude, there wasn't anything better than still shots when you scored the touchdown, and seeing the still shots of the cheerleaders. Plus LT played like he was in real life, all cracked out running everywhere.
