Amazing what those H1-B Indian guest workers can do. And they work so cheap!

Oops! Just read the headline again. IBM Breaks Own Supercomputer Record: 133 Trillion instructions per second

I thought it said per day. I guess that is a little more than I could handle in a second.

Big Blue has revealed that it has broken through the 100 teraflop mark and developed the world's fastest supercomputer for the United States National Nuclear Security Administration

The average PC today has more computing power than the fastest computers in the world just 30 years ago. Hence, thirty years from now, the average "PC" (if it is even called that) will have more computing power than this teraflop computer of IBM's.

It is a good bet that the world of 30 years from now will be virtually unrecognizable to us.
