IBM Power7 Server Takes on Big Load China Busted Hacker-Training Site Analysts Expect iPad Price To Drop Veteran SAP CEO Abruptly Resigns Google May Make Gmail More Social iPad Blitz Yields Low Buying Plans IBM has unveiled high-capacity servers that are the first to be based on its new, multi-core POWER7 chip. It said the new line is designed "to manage the most demanding emerging applications." Chinese authorities arrested three hackers who ran an online hacker-training business called Black Hawk Safety Net, news that is being broadcast months after the actual arrest amid the Google-hack saga.
