I don't see how promoting the iPad 2 has anything to do with Linux or open-source whatsoever.

The difference:
then: CRAY-2 users/operators ---> SuperUsers
now Apple Ipad users ---> Faggots

This is ancient news
Top500 and Linpack co-manager Dr. Jack Dongarra already published the iPad 2/Cray-2 equality - back in May 2011, see http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/0...puter-of-yore/ .

Thing is, if this were a normal supercomputer they were testing against from back then, I think the iPad would have fared much better. The early Cray supercomputers were designed for very specific workloads and designed accordingly. That being said, they would fare pretty poorly in any more general benchmark.
