Anyone fancy a little weekend work linking a few XBOX 360's together...saw this fabulously inspirational story on the BBC Technology site today:

Hmmm could we do HPC clusters on a networked set of 360's.....? Now I know this sounds silly but this was actually discussed at a recent meeting I went to with IBM...now there's a thing - the senior manager who came along and happened to hear that bit had some rather direct feedback for her employee:

"If this falls on it's ass, my foot is up your ass!" - nice! Maybe we will try more conventional methods of bringing clusters to the market then!
