What Happened To Starbridge's Supercomputer? 2
ncmusic asks: "As seen in this story, whatever became of Starbridge and their cheap supercomputers? Was it all an elaborate hoax?" As far as I can tell, they are still around, but can anyone more familiar with them give us a heads-up on their progress?

They have functioning systems, but appear to be surviving on government funding right now. The cheap home desktop supercomputer originally due in Q1'01 appears to be too optimistic. IMHO, the potential of the hardware will not be realized until major software advances.

There are projected benchmarks, buzzwords galore (reminds me of a health food store; everything's copyrighted but doesn't actually mean anything), but nothing even remotely resembling evidence. At least put up a picture of one of these things doing *something* on a test rig...surely you have *some* kind of software, right?
The stronger the claim, the stronger the evidence needed to convince people you're not walking around in a tinfoil hat. Claims I see, evidence I don't.
(Of course, if someone reading this could point me at some reliable, 3rd-party information that lends credence to what they're saying...)
