The-Teacher

I have decided to also contribute to the blog site. My blogs will hopefully point you in the direction of some relevant, interesting and informative news stories and websites.

 My first entry is concerning the announcement from Cray, who are famed for their supercomputers, who are to build a desktop supercomputer. The beast in question starts at $25k and reports suggest it might just be able to run Windows Vista with all it's bells and whistles. Check it out here.

This week the BBC educated us on the location of England. I bet you're thinking "I know where it is". Well, it appears they thought we didn't. Have a look.

 Anyone got a copy of LittleBigPlanet yet? Seems it's worth a few bob.

So you all thought this Software Deveopment lark would never amount to anything, well it appears there is a chance for you all to make some money on the side. The new XBox experience(what they are calling the new dashboard) will include a channel for selling games made by mere mortals like us. There are bound to be some really bad efforts but if you make something Microsoft likes you can sell it for Microsoft points where you will get 70% of the royalties! Right, all I need is an idea.....

 Finally, a really cool website. The Hubble telescope orbits the earth and scientists can compete for time using it, NASA decide who has the best proposals for use of the telescope and allocate it to different teams. It takes some amazing pictures and you can look at them here. Have a look at the photos, I guarantee they will make you ponder life, the universe and everything. They will blow you away. The site also has information for us nerdy types about how the thing works. So take a look around and stop wasting your life away on youtube! Interior, crocodile, alligator etc
