“Hello World”
BUILD YOUR OWN SUPERCOMPUTER
You can see the video of this interview before it even airs. Neat trick, who needs cable? I’m kind of busy working out my own supercomputer plan today John. I just came across tomorrows software today, called Green Tea. http://www.greenteatech.com/ They say it runs on all platforms as long as there is JVM(Java Virtual Machine) for that platform.

GreenTea’s vision – the network is the computer, and the computer is the network.

Green Tea says, “You can build a GreenTea Network Computer at home, in the office, or on the Internet. GreenTea is working with a community of people like you to create an Internet supercomputer which you as an individual can benefit as well as contribute in the GT network.”

A basic PC requirement is: Pentium II CPU 200MHz, 64M RAM, with 10/100Mbps Ethernet connection. We also found GT works on dialup Internet connections.

I’m thinking that this could just eliminate the need for search engines. With a home supercomputer, you might not find alien life, but then again you might not need search engines anymore either. If the network and the computer are one, a browser based search engine might only slow down my home supercomputer. Then I’ve had browser crashes, which I hate. I can just build my own search engine, without a browser or pesky ads. Maybe everyone will get free ISP’s going again. I think these people might have something here that’s worth writing a story about. You could always write another Michael Moore story and help generate buzz. What do you think?
