Doc Searls is at the Apple rackmount server announcement, bloggin' live:
The box has a dual G4s, fast L2&3 cache, an ASIC Gigabit Ethernet and FireWire sys controller, Big 266 MHz DDR SdRAM Dual Gigabit ports, quad ATA drives, on a 533MB/s bus, buncha other stuff I can't keep up with. "Fastest architecture we've ever built." (He's been describing the maximum configuration.)

In a rack, 84 processors, umpty terrabytes..

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
