- Google is so awesome. What a great site. And no huge ad-banners. I hope it never comes to that.
One, Google Viewer turns your results into a slideshow. Take your hands off the keyboard and allow it to pan across the results. You can speed up or slow down the refresh rate, which defaults to five seconds.
This could make for an amusing alternative to a screensaver if used with those novelty misspellings which feature in NTK.
The second could be much more interesting: an instant reputation service. Google Webquotes "annotates the results of your Google search with comments from other websites."
Of course gaming Google results is a popular hobby. The Church of Scientology goes to considerable expense to ensure it's the most popular site on Google - but can't stop anti-Scientology information sites coming out at Numbers 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 in the rankings.
It's at the earliest stages of development: a search for "Scott McNealy" turned up two corporate bios from Sun, and eight interviews with McNealy. Neither really contained any third party opinions about the search subject.
"Twenty to thirty per cent of the bill of materials is in baseband processing, and standards are still not fixed," he said.
Other uses for picoArrays could be 802.11 access points or real time crypto or image processing. It also supplies the compilers, tools and software.
The company says NEC demonstrated a 512-core CPU at the recent Microprocessor Forum, but that these were 8-bit cores. IBM has hundreds or cores at the heart of Deep Blue and ASCI White.
So for now, this appears to be the most powerful processor captivity
