Tara Sue's Weblog News writes: "In hyperbolic geometry, an infinite number of parallel lines can intersect at the same point." As I mentioned in my Mathematica 4.2 review, I wrote a package for hyperbolic geometry a few years ago. Some visualizations are available on the web, with Mathematica code.

IBM rolls out grid future: "... grid computing is a foundation of IBM's long-term strategy to help enterprises manage far-flung, distributed IT resources in a virtual but cohesive manner. [...] But several developments suggest IBM's vision will materialize sooner rather than later. The company has already infused AIX and Linux with grid-compliant protocols, ascribing to the OGSA (Open Grid Service Architecture), and plans to incorporate grid protocols in middleware, including WebSphere and operating systems next year. To that end, IBM last week added autonomic features to DB2, notebooks, and desktop PCs. IBM also announced that it would offer consulting services through its research division. [...] The availability of a grid-like architecture will form the foundation upon which Big Blue can advance its On-Demand strategy." [InfoWorld: Top News]
