Update:  The New York Times story on NCBI BLAST atop Windows Azure:  http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/17/microsoft-gives-the-cloud-to-scientists/

Over on the Microsoft blog, I posted a few thoughts on SC10, the rise of clouds and the power of simplicity in high-performance computing. In includes a few thoughts on our announcement of NCBI BLAST availability on Azure, work done by my Extreme Computing Group

There is also a video of my smiling face expounding on this topic.
