BECAUSE OF recent accusations of Apple bashing in our letters column, our reporters have scoured the net for a bit of positive news about the company.

Apparently this week Apple has won the Best of Show award at Bio-IT World Conference in Boston.

It got the award for its Apple Workgroup Cluster for Bioinformatics, which is a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster based on the Xserve G5. It is aimed at providing a turnkey solution for scientists who have little or no IT support and like lots of nice graphics to help them understand what is going on.

The clusters are a snip at US$28,000 - each cluster ships with two to 16 Xserve G5 servers, 750GB of storage in the head node, an Asanté gigabit Ethernet switch and APC Smart-UPS power supply, all in an XtremeMac Xrack Pro enclosure.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
