After posting earlier this week about an academic who had created his own supercomputer out of eight PS3s, I’ve just learnt that Sony from March 23rd all PS3s will be able to help the Folding@home program.

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.

I think I’m pretty much tooled up now, but what do you think you will be purchasing [...]
PS3 Hacking Showing Promise
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.

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’.

The sad thing is, most of them won’t get one….
I’m Not Playstation 3 Bashing, But……
…you have to admit that the Ridge Racer 6 shots on the Xbox 360 look better than the Ridge Racer 7 shots on the Playstation 3.
If you can’t see the differences or you’re in denial, then they’ve even been circled for you. The textures are worse on the PS3, and the lighting is poor.
