Posted on the Cell BE Open Source Developer's forum is a link to the new SONY Zego 1U unit. It contains 1 Cell Broadband Engine Processor with 1 RSX GPU. There is no hypervisor to restrict access to the GPU as in the Playstation 3 so there is 3D acceleration support. No word has come back yet as to whether the GPU supports GPGPU.

I was driving home from work today and saw this car: www.1989geometro.com. It is a geo metro converted to get 75 miles per gallon. It works and is on the road right now!

I am a new graduate student in Computer Engineering. I would like to get my MS and possibly my Ph.D. I have come to find out that 90% of my department is from India and many others are from China. All the students come here to study and there are only 7 US citizens in the engineering program this year. Why is this like this? I have heard that many of the smarter Americans go into the medical or law professions and that is why there are no Americans. Is this true?
