Super PS3 Maybe "it does everything," after all.

On Wednesday, officials from the U.S. Air Force unveiled the 'Condor Cluster', a supercomputer powered by 1,760 PS3 consoles.

So how fast is it? Created by the Air Force Research Lab in Rome, New York,
the massive system -- which operates at a peak of a whopping 500 teraflops --
is the 34th fastest supercomputer in the world and the fastest interactive
computer in the Defense Department. Officials also point out that it consumes
only one-tenth of the power of similar rigs, making it the sixth greenest

another Halo clone."

Actually, nothing could be further from the truth: this ambitious title claims a more rarefied lineage. The follow-up to last year's
underappreciated shooter Section 8, Prejudice is in many ways a modern
reimagining of the 1998 sleeper hit Starsiege: Tribes, often regarded as one of
the most influential videogames of all time. The basic gameplay elements
include huge, wide-open maps; a gritty sci-fi backdrop; the capacity to kit out
your avatar with fancy power-armor and explosive jetpacks; and a deep strategic

Just a few years ago, parents and gamers alike were lining up in the
dark for a chance to snag the impossible-to-find Wii at their local

only 25 days on the market, it's managed to sell — and yes, they're
saying "sell," not just ship — a whopping 2.5 million Kinects, or about 100,000 Kinect sensors a day.

Pretty impressive, especially once you consider that the Nintendo Wii — once the hottest gaming console on the market, although sales have cooled over the past year or so — sold "just" 600,000 units in its
