»Sony Adds F@H To PS3

Sony has updated the PS3 firmware to version 1.60. <a href="http://news.com.com/2100-1043_3-6168778.html">Is anyone thinking that the PS3 will turn into a PSP-like disaster and be a multimedia device instead of a gaming platform</a>? The new firmware adds support for bluetooth input devices as well.

Additionally, the new PS3 software will support Folding@home, a distributed computing project created by Stanford University in 2000 in order to better understand the process of protein folding and how it correlates to serious diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and various forms of cancer. Research into protein folding, however, requires an enormous amount of computing power. Similar to the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence's famed SETI@home project, in which thousands of PC users are donating a slice of their computers' processing time to aid in the hunt for intelligent life in outer space, Folding@home has been relying on contributions from PC users around the world since its inception.

Sony just saw there were no good games out for their system and needed to give people who bought the console a reason to reconsider revolting.

Its not who a person is in the inside, but what he does that defines him.

I don't think the PSP will give its "success" to the PS3 because the PSP just wasn't thought out right.

Michael: Jodie, how's my schedule look for today?
Jodie: You've got a conference and dinner party at the Japanese Embassy regarding wildlife protection.
Michael: Oh, yeah...sorry, but I'll have to cancel that. I'm heading out to save America!
