I’m not sure what a Teraflop is, but these computers have a lot of them. The Blue Gene/L computer shown can do 360 Teraflops. Link
Update: Commenter Christophe puts this in perspective.
A teraflop measures a computer's ability to do Floating Point Operations Per Second. So 360 Teraflops = 360,000 gigaflops = 360,000,000 megaflops = 360,000,000,000 flops. 360,000,000,000 Floating Point Operations Per Second. That's 360 Billion.
Update 2: Kevin and Adam say its 360 trillion.

A new design by My Studio:
The Mobius Dress proposes an inherently inside-out and outside-in garment. The Mobius Loop, applied to the body, creates one continuous loop designed to turn inside out as it unravels. Because the Mobius strip is one-sided, one-edged and has no fixed orientation, the Felt material used for the dress also has no hierarchy, no warp and no weft. Structured only by the body, dress twists and turns to form a continuously evolving surface as it unwinds and intertwines to form a perpetually changing surface in relation to the body.
But does it cover what it needs to cover as it “evolves� Link -via Everlasting Blort

Photographer Michael Wolf has been featured on Neatorama before. His latest project opens in exhibit June 30 in San Francisco.
Shek Kip Mei Estate, Hong Kong's oldest public housing estate, is composed of 100 rooms, each closet-like in size at only 100 square feet and built in response to a devastating fire in the 1950s that left thousands homeless. In a new series of photographs called "100 x 100," Michael Wolf captures the residents of this housing complex who are almost enveloped by the diminishing space around them, their belongings stacked to the ceiling.
