BURP has been sold to Google for an undisclosed price. A leading Google search engine engineer says:
<blockquote>We continuously invest in ways to improve our search engine and have discovered the great potential in 3D graphics for presenting search results. No other search engine currently on the market is able to present top hits rendered in full 3D!</blockquote>
BURP will be used to render live previews of websites into 3D images and animations that will then be displayed as search results.

It will still be possible for the community to render other things on BURP but the results will include small advertisements embedded into the video based on Google AdSense. Hopefully this will not be an issue to anyone.
