Blue Gene - makes me think of the Blue Djinn from I Dream of Jeannie.
IBM's Blue Gene/L supercomputer has broken its own record, doubling the number of calculations it can do in a second to a massive 280.6 trillion.
IBM tries to put this number in context by pointing out that "if every person in the world had a hand-held calculator it would still take decades to perform the number of calculations Blue Gene performs every single second".
still not as good as the human brain, but always inching closer.
