Thanks Anonymous who has informed me that Windows Media Player dubbed Corona version 9 has leaked yet another beta of this fine player.

New to this build is a POST privacy statement by Microsoft and a very cool option to setup your Privacy settings right away (cookie handling, sending Media player unique ID and stuff) These options can also be set in the tab via Options in the player.

We dont have this for download, but its also a beta and Microsoft didnt appreciate us posting the links last time -whoops. You might be able to find it on IRC

The new computer, which will be based on 37 IBM eServer p690 systems using IBM's Power4 processor, will offer a peak performance of 5.8 teraflops, meaning it will be capable of making 5.8 trillion mathematical computations per second.

According to IBM, the boost in computing power will give researchers at ZAM 13 times more performance than they have available from their fastest system.

The new agreement is the latest in a string of supercomputer deals landed by IBM this year.

Indeed, thanks to research projects in biotechnology and to government spending, the adoption of supercomputers has grown, helping boost not only research but also the bottom lines of companies such as IBM, which build the machines.

Once the new supercomputer is built, it will become a part of Germany's grid of supercomputers and ultimately connect with Europe's supercomputing grid, IBM said.
