PS3 helping to fight diseases

[liquidsk8s]

Sony just released an update which inlcudes Stanfords Folding@home program. When your not using the system you just start the program and let it do it's thing. Whats amazing is that with only about 30k active users, they are generating over 730 teraflops of computing power, 3 times what they were able to do before with over 200,000 cpus around the world. Tonight they are having a foldathon and asking all PS3 users to leave it on while they are sleeping, I already got mine started heh.
