I might not be understanding this correctly but if this "Other group" were a bunch of government super computers (or enough of the "Other" group was in order to constitute a 51% of the network) could they fork the chain or whatever and corrupt Bitcoin?  Am I not understanding that correctly?  Is it just the client and not the miners that process and verify the transactions?

Your chart is missing btcguild.com. They have 1.5 TH/s.

That pie chart looks ancient!  Shocked

Other is just the solo miners.

The pooled miners work for the single client that belongs to the pool operator.
