World's fastest supercomputer is now the Nvidia-powered Titan

The Titan supercomputer has knocked the IMB Sequoia off the top spot to take the title of World's Fastest Supercomputer.

Those who move in the right kinds of circles won't be surprised by this news; advance reports had apparently anticipated Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Titan would take the gold when the Top500 Supercomputer Sites' twice-yearly top 500 supercomputer sites chart was released.

The Titan managed 17.59 Petaflop per second – that's 17.59 quadrillion calculations per second and puts our ability to pat our heads and rub our tummies simultaneously to shame.

But knowing that the Titan has 560,640 processors to its name, including 261,632 Nvidia K20x accelerator cores, makes us feel a little less inadequate. Also, we have souls and organic intelligence.

The Facebook App Data 2012

If you’re wondering which Facebook app is on the number one spot as of the moment, or if you’re looking for the developer who’s getting the right money out of their facebook apps, then you’ve gone on the right page, as AppData has a pretty decent list to serve you with your statistical needs. The research firm even has the data for iOS and Android apps, like facebook for android, for the two mobile OS giant platform.

The App Leaderboard for facebook shows that most of its user still loves to do virtual farming with Farmville 2 still grows crops on top of the list. Followed by the photo sharing app Instagram which claims to share only good photos with its easy to use filters and editing tools, but mostly we saw food photography addict to abuse this app. Texas HoldEm Poker rules the number three slot, with its casual gaming appeal for most of the adults. TripAdvisor and schoolFeed close the top five on the leaderboard.

Now if you’re looking who are the developers profiteering from your casual online gaming and non-stop photo sharing activities on the largest social networking site, AppData also includes the Developer Leaderboard data.

Zynga still tops the developer leaderboard, but lately the game maker’s stock plummet below value of its cash and real estate, reportedly. Microsoft Live, Bing, Skype, MSN and the Bing Bar landed Microsoft as the second app maker on the list. Bubble Witch and Candy Crush Saga creator King.com rest on the third. While the facebook utility app, such Static iFrame Tab, Custom Tab and Static HTML iFrame Tab lets Woobox be part of the top five at number four. Closing the top five was Diamond Dash’s creator Wooga.

Microsoft: Office coming to Android, iOS in March 2013

Talk of Microsoft Office showing up on Android and iOS devices is headlining tech sites once again. This time there’s some solid evidence in support of a mobile Office suite. Microsoft product manager Petr Bobek reportedly told Czech site IHNED that Office software for Android and iOS is coming in 2013.

The software will arrive as native apps on the mobile platforms, according to Bobek. Not long after the announcement, The Verge came forward with claims to have seen a press release from Microsoft’s Czech Republic team. The release confirms the software will be coming to the two most popular mobile operating systems alongside Windows Phone, Windows RT, Mac OS and Symbian.

We’ve been hearing rumors of a version of Office for the iPad for the better part of a year now. The Daily was the first to report the story last November and even followed up on their article with a photo showing the app running on an iPad. Microsoft adamantly denied the accusations, claiming the story was based on inaccurate rumors and speculation.

More recent rumors suggested we would see an Android and iOS app surface in November. There’s still time for that to happen but based on the latest information, Microsoft will miss that target date. Instead, we’re now told to expect Office Mobile to arrive in March 2013.
