Not specifically Japanese news per se, but interesting nonetheless: Mercury Computer Systems announced that they are the first company to partner with IBM to offer the acclaimed (well, by some people) Cell processor in PCs. We all know the Playstation 3 is powered by one of these bad boys, but it could be interesting to see what sort of capabilities the processor has in the PC world. Mercury's press release doesn't mention anything about consumer-level systems, but I'm sure some crazy company will come along and offer a product the "rest of us" can afford.
Their press release is available here in English, so I'm home free.
