I think the market is telling these guys: We don't care about computing power. People are getting by with iPads and Chromebooks powered by ARM cores with 1/8 the computing power of an Intel processor. Don't get me wrong if you want to play around with parallel computing you should love this, and support it. Just don't be surprised when it doesn't reach Pebble funding levels.

They want to enable small scale computers to do more powerful computations, i don't think it is directly for ipad's and chromebooks, it could be useful for something like a quadcopter where there is a algorithm that gives better stability but needs more computational power.
They're actually providing much less computing power than even a low-end PC.
