Playstation 3s Accounting for 56% Of Folding@Home Processing Power
It seems like I’m not the only one putting my Playstation 3 to good use when I’m not using it by running the Folding@Home application. 13,000 other Playstation 3 owners have followed suit and already the Playstation 3 is accounting for 56% of the total processing power of Folding@Home. Together over [...]

Well, not quite! I pre-ordered a Playstation 3 a few months ago on a whim to be honest, so that I wouldn’t miss out if I I decided I wanted one later. I was totally undecided as to whether or not to keep it right up until it arrived, and the temptation to [...]
24Mar2007 | Everton | 3 comments | ContinuedWhat Are My Options For A HD Media Center?
My regular readers know that I love my modded Xboxs running XBMC. However, the problem I’m facing currently is that my poor old Xboxs don’t have enough power to handle HD content.
I bought a Xbox 360 in 2005 for two reasons, to play Halo 3 and to get a new HD media centre. [...]
Playstation 3 Supercomputer And Joining Folding@Home
Kotaku had an interesting story yesterday about an academic who created a supercomputer cluster costing a measly $5,000, using eight PS3s. Apparently the PS3 is very good at clustering because of the very powerful Cell processor.
Although my PC definitely doesn’t have as much power as a supercomputer I really feel that I should use [...]
Playstation 3 To Have Less Backwards Compatibilty in Europe
Sony Europe announced yesterday that in addition to Europe getting limited supplies of Playstation 3s, that in order to reduce costs the European PS3 will have less backwards compatibility because they will be removing some parts to remove costs.
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this as not only will the PS3 cost over [...]
Quick Links 19-02-07: Digg Mafia Edition
I’m dedicating this set of links to the great posts that referenced Ajay’s article on ‘Why The Digg Mafia will cost Kevin Rose Millions‘.
This one is my favourite. I wanted to leave a comment but you have to register to comment and I refuse to ever do that. Adam speculates what the Digg [...]
What New Gadgets Did You Buy In 2006?
I was tidying up some old posts, and I spotted a post I wrote this time last year asking what gadgets were on reader’s shopping lists, and also making my own purchase predictions.
My own predictions proved to be fairly accurate, although I did pick up a few extra bits and bobs I wasn’t expecting. [...]
Poll Closed: What Will Santa Be Bringing You This Christmas
I’ve closed the poll What Will Santa Be Bringing You This Christmas. The number one response ‘A Cute Little WiiWii‘ surprised me, as I was expecting the Playstation 3 to be the clear winner. I was also surprised to see how many users were planning on getting an Xbox 360, given that the [...]

One of the main reasons I bought my Xbox 360 last year, was because I hoped the Xbox modding community would bring out ‘XBMC360′, a suped up version of XBMC. However, Microsoft’s attempts to make the XBox 360 unkackable seem to have paid off with very little progress made over the last 12 months.
Well, it [...]
Playstation 3 Grey Market Backfires For Some Users
Firstly, I can’t understand why anyone would be desperate enough to pay $5k+ on eBay for a Playstation 3. But, if I was crazy enough to spend this amount of cash on eBay I’d definitely read the small print to make sure that I’m getting ‘Value For Money’.
So, I have no pity for these idiots:
