Kotaku
Sony has teamed up with Stanford Unversity for Folding@home. The project is a distributed computing network of PS3s to help study the causes of a number of diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, cystic fibrosis and many cancers.
So! Kotaku has set up its own Folding@home page. You can view it here. This idea comes via Kotakuite Chris. Many thanks for that, Chris! Our team name is Team Kotaku (clever, eh?) and our Folding team number is 57858. We encourage as many Kotakuites to join as possible. This is a very cool program and admirable on Stanford/Sony's part.
To join the program you just click on the icon in the Cross Media bar and open up Folding@home. Then hit triangle and go to "Identity." Punch in the team number there. You can also set up your PS3 to work on the application whenever the console is idle. This second option will require leaving the console powered on and connected to the Internet.
Brian Lam at Gizmodo tells us that the PS3 has nearly sixty percent of the entire power now. Pretty amazing.
