Usages of R

R has gained a lot of traction on the scientific community for data analysis, modeling, and exploratory work. I just run into a post by Michael E. Driscoll in his Data Evolution blog about how R is used in Google and Facebook. Nothing new, but what got my attention was ParallelR. If you have been using R for large problems, I am pretty sure you have been wishing that there was some parallelization capabilities. ParallelR targets the problem, and it definitely an option to check out.
