Vladimir Silva, a former IBM software engineer, releases a book named "". He wrote this book to help technical guys understand grid computing faster than looking information around the net.

This book might be worth for enterprises that want to explore how grid look like in action. Anyway, it is not suitable for manager to learn himself. If you are managers, buy it, give it to the most excellent technician, wait for a few days, and then let him give a short introduction. Good luck!

All you might have ever heard about Final Fantasy Saga. It is a kind of Japanese Starwars with so long story in game history. The upcoming release is Final Fantasy XII. My most impression about this game is its graphics. If USA has Pixar, Japan has Squaresoft. I don’t know much about PS, PS2, XBox, or any other game console. However, I’m so sure that all movies in each game are not rendered from wired frame in real-time. This is just my guess. All movies must be pre-rendered on render farm. The result of these games is showing the power of supercomputing. Please take a look at the latest trailer of FF XII.
