Google acquires GPGPU toolbuilder PeakStream ... smart. Very smart.

And good for both sides: I doubt the long-term business outlook of such specialty tool companies (it's clear that sooner or later an OpenGL equivalent for GPU-style parallel processing will spring up and/or get traction, the incentives for that to happen are just too big), especially of those not targeting a particular niche (i.e. game companies, like Neoptica) or providing complete solutions (e.g. to the bio-tech or finance industries), Google gets some seriously undercommoditized know-how (and they being the prime profiteurs of embarrassing parallelism probably know rather well how and where to employ it).
