PS3 Searches for Cure for Cancer
Stanford University and Sony have announced that all PS3's will be able to participate in Cure@PS3, taking advantage of the console's super powerful cell chip in distributed computing. Whenever you leave your PS3 on, it can spend its time decoding information and research in hopes of bringing society one step closer to a cure.
To put that into perspective, lets just say the PS3 sells as many units as the PS2's has sold to date. That's over 60 million PS3's number crunching away, far more powerful than any super computer at any facility.
It sorta makes the $600 price tag easier to swallow (slightly). However, It would be nice to say, "me and my PS3 helped find a cure for cancer".
