Forums - Sony - What Ever Happened to Folding @ Home?

What the hell is Folding@Home? It's to cure cancer? I wasn't informed...



Around the Network

I'm going to have to do some reading on this.. I haven even so much as installed it yet.  Nor, do I have an idea what it is...  Gonna have to start it up, lol.



I do it from time to time, because I like the idea that my PS3 is contributing to some research in however small a way. I've only completed 3 units of work.

I don't care about any sort of reward for me personally. The only reward I'd be interested in is news of any promising findings as a result of all this folding.

Should have made it SETI@Home.

Yeah, that'd be much more beneficial than curing cancer
