Tyan's 40 CPU Core Personal Supercomputer -- now shipping

Sure, you probably don't currently have a need for 256 gigaflops of processing power in your home. Rest assured, you will -- just as certain as the day when robots will care for our children and decorate our Christmas trees. So go 'head, raid the education fund and future proof your domicile by picking up a TYANPSC T-650 series computer from Tyan -- "PSC," as in Personal SuperComputer. Prices start at just $20,000 for a 40 CPU Core (10x quad-core Intel Xeons) system configurable with up to 60GB of RAM and a power draw of just 15A. And it's "portable" in the same way a refrigerator is portable: it has wheels. Who knows, maybe you can put those spare cycles to use by solving the traveling salesman problem. Better yet, join Engadget's Folding@Home team for some hardcore protein folding fun. [Via 64-bit-computers]

The printer is expected to debut for $200. Smells like vaporware, but I hope it's not.

Gallery: Nokia's Flagship N95 Launched Internationally

n95_low_nowplaying_02-thumb.jpgHere's a gallery in celebration of Nokia lauching the H.M.S. N95, the follow up to their N93, and the latest in their line of huge multimedia phones (Previously mentioned specs here). These are aircraft carrier class gadgets. I'd never be able to fit on in my skin tight lycra suit pockets. But I still want one oh so badly. Dual slider action? Yes, please.

Depending on how it works, I'd consider this instead of an iPhone...if it ever comes state-side.

(Please, when you leave your Lam is a Fanboy posts below, make em original and entertaining.)
