Disordered Cogitations

Anyone can now use the Sun Grid for $1/CPUhour. They've gotten a cool url:

http://www.network.com/

After signing up, you upload your application, upload your data, run the job, and download the results. Sorta like batch jobs on a mainframe. You can store applications and data on the grid (I don't know the storage fees).

Sounds like a great way for someone to avoid having to set up and run their own IT infrastructure. As long as your application is in Java.
