Check out this video, at time
1:55, the guy giving the report
video says "...could ultimately KILL
people"..

I can't believe he said that. I
went back & marked the spot so I
could hear him say it again & again
& again to make sure my ears didn't
hear it wrong. He definitely said
KILL, not HEAL...moron.

 The actual story is interesting. The guy who modded the 360 and created the software used to be a programmer at Rare. We know also that PS3 has folding@Home, but they're using that shit to simulate black hole collisions too. Fucking black holes swallowing stars. These programmers are fucking genius at what they do.

That's a bit like Folding@Home for the PS3 isn't it? Since medical companies require processing power to do their research they can just use any old computer. Then again, private companies invest a lot of time and money into building cheaper, faster and more powerful chips for public use, hence cheaper prices. Either way, everyone wins.

I remember seeing this old lady in the middle of a lake drowning and I had my PS3 in a suitcase because I was driving to my cousins and it had jumped out of the suitcase then dived into the water and saved her.

If you're going to insult someone, you should probably make sure that what your saying makes sense.

What? Please think out what you're going to say before randomly typing nonsense. I'm starting to see why you and Crunch_UK are friends.

@TheMustacheHero: I think it's time to let this one go. Pie believes himself or herself to be superior to everyone. No need to continue inflating an already massive ego.

nice, it's like folding at home. it is a cause for science as it helps people get information and information from computers. 
 
i was thinking it would be funny a person goes into surgery and the 360 rrods. sir, the 360 has died. ok screw this person were going to fix this 360 to get it back to working condition.

Had no idea. Fucking Pie & his overall..smugness.  He's just bitter because Americans are
more successful than He.
 
Also, does anyone bother to read all the comments before replying?  3-4 people said the same
thing about it being "Folding@Home"...If they bothered to glance at the first 10 posts, they would
see that it has already been said.  Before giving a comment you should at least do a search on
the first block of comments about "Folding"
 
I always read all the comments before I write anything.

Howcome when I turn on my PS3 and look through the menu, folding @ home isn't there anymore? Did they get rid of it?
