    BEIJING (AFP) – China is set to trump the US to take the number one spot for the fastest supercomputer ever made in a survey of the world's zippiest machines, it was reported Thursday.

    Tianhe-1, meaning Milky Way, has a sustained computing speed of 2,507 trillion calculations per second, making it the fastest computer in China on a list published Thursday.

    But it is also 1.4 times faster that the world's current fastest ranked supercomputer in the US, housed at a national laboratory in Tennessee, according to the New York Times.

    Countries like Korea & China both support censorship of the Internet, just look at the row they had with Google. Not to mention they endorse evil corporations like Phorm who used targeted advertising to spy on their subscribers and users.

    Awesome machine but a pity it will probably be used to filter out most of the Internet before they get to view it!
