Most of you should know what folding@home is. If you don't, its a program started my Stanford that simulates how certain proteins fold. Miss folded proteins can led to dieases e.g. Parkinsons (sp?). Since there are almost endless possibilities, it takes a computer forever to do it so they split up the task and people can download and run the program and send the info to Stanford to help "complete the picture."
Anyway, they are releasing a verison of it for the PS3. With the cell processor, why let it go to waste on games? If you leave your PS3 on and hooked up to an ethernet or wlan, then itll start the program. As soon as you start gaming, it turns off or runs in the back ground and the developer says no performance lag!
Well if you can't justify the 600 tag, even for a blue-ray player, maybe this bit of good will can justify 600. Kicking ass in 1080p, hi-def DVD and saving lifes! What else can you ask for?
