For those of you who have a PS3 and have it hooked up online, please take time to have a look at the folding home project.

This project is sponsored by Stanford University and "borrows" unused computing power from networked PS3s when the owners are not playing with them. The goal is to help research and isolate cell proteins. The end benefit will aid in the understanding and treatment of many cancers that we are dealing with.
