lol, this is a positive story I don't see why people are taking such issue with this...
Just to put it in perspective one of the most powerful supercomputers on the earth (that is public knowledge anyways) is Blue Gene/L and it does 280 Teraflops with 360 Teraflops as a theorotical max.
Earlier this year they also unveiled a newer version Blue Gene/P which supposedly runs at 1 petaflop and can be configured to run at 3 petaflops.
The reason I am quoting these specs is because these computers have enormous price tags to rent time on them to run simulations and the like. So for PS3s to be put to good use in assisting research and carrying that kind of workload is very cool.
