10 or a million, it's the same content douchebag. Public speaking is a forte of those in this position and while it takes some work, "months" is insane, not to mention sacrificing personal health and holidays with family. All I'm saying he's not demoing table-top fusion that he needs to write a masters thesis on, they're refreshes of flippin' iPods and PeeCees that he sells to the masses that, in general, would buy his feces in a bag if he offered it up.

And I got modded troll - for a brief instant in time I forgot why I never post up here....

Seriously - months to prepare? I've seen massive numbers of keynotes in my day, and while they're impressive speeches, they're just that. Why would anyone need more than a couple weeks for this, much less a techno-weenie like Jobs? I've given a talk to 1,400 with a week to take over someone else's content....

You seem to have missed the point of COTS entirely. And you're way off the mark on the price differential - unless you're talking about an 8 CPU "supercomputer".

The whole reason HPTC bled down to COTS product was the outrageous costs of more proprietary hardware AND the fact that COTS product performance and reliability were on a massive upswing.

I work with LOTS of customers using HPTC - and very, very few of them are still running a single application. It's the nature of growth & development - there are older apps and there are newer apps.

There's a 235 node 10G InfiniBand connected HP-based supercomputer humming right behind me as I type this....

The more they over-think the plumbing the easier it is to stop up the drain.
