The PS3 version of Child of Eden is almost here and Ubisoft gave us a fancy launch trailer to show off.  There’s not too much to say about it. Just like Rez the game is a swirl of pretty colors and abstract visuals, and it’s awesome. The Kinect version which was quite good, so I have little doubt the PS3 version will be as well.

Nicknamed after the magical “Nekomata” cat of Japanese nightmares, Cycle Computing’s monstrous new supercomputer can now be yours to rent for the low price of $1,279 an hour. By fusing together the face-melting power of 3,809 eight-core Amazon AWS Elastic Computer 2s, the company was able to create the world’s 30th fastest computer with 30,472 processor cores and 27TB of memory — primarily used for complex modeling rather than Facebooking.
