  • A xbox can't cure cancer.

  • This is something people on Pleasuredome tracker can do to increase their upload GB for participating

  • This game is even better than Call of Duty! I can play it when not even looking at the thing all day long!

  • I wouldn't mind if only I could at least play a PS1 game in the background or something.

  • Still dont get it how to download it to ps3 main :(

  • kid: mom I want a ps3

    mom: For the last time I am not buying that thing for you even if it cures cancer!

    kid: but it does! :D

  • @shadischool LMAO!

  • Does it have trophies?

  • @PutoProzak No, no trophies.

  • I hope someone discovers a cure to Parkinson's or Alzheimer's on this.

  • Hey if anyone may know, I have a setting on my ps3 thats on F@H Settings and it says normal and advanced on mode, i'm wondering how to make it run faster, would anyone know if that's the way to make t run faster?

  • @XxSpatsaAddictxX Normal mode is for average use. Advanced is for people who leave their PS3's on folding. It basically runs larger WU's for more points but takes longer to finish (Usually a couple of days) and have tighter deadlines. If you don't leave your PS3 on, stick with the normal mode.

  • I so dont understand how this app thing works?

  • ever stupid ,you have to like how some software and even some hardware drivers have this software and it installs when you click like most people do on express recommended setup ! fucking sneaky assholes ,and NO im not talking abouts fucking game consoles retards,im mean REAL PCS ,but why dont they just go buy a several superservers-computers,they think ill let that runs on my pc ? FUCKTHAT ! especially now a days when everything has a bandwidth cap !

  • Yeah, I put this on whilst charging the controller, turn the TV off and set it up to turn the PS3 off when it's completed the unit and uploaded it. :-)

  • Why can't the PC version look this good xD

  • its not a screensaver its an app thats doing research on proteins to help cure diseases

  • its not a screensaver. as your on it it helps cure diseases. it uses the power of the ps3 for medical research.

  • Or you could just turn off your TV and leave the PS3 on when youre at work/sleeping

  • @TLKshoop Thats what I do.

  • What does it actually do? i want t o download it but i don't know what it does

  • You can help in doing scientific researches by offering the computing capacity of you PS3.

  • It lets Stanford university use your ps3s CPU power to help them conduct experiments to change the way cells are formed to help them find cures for diseases. And A PS3s cpu is 10 times more useful in this than an average computer at home

  • I ment 20 times faster than an average computer

  • What does it actually do? I Want to download it but I don't know what it does

  • @fran9511

    dude its not all that powerful...

    it can be compard to a modern dual core processor at best and is just a big gimmick to sell the ps3.

    honestly where did you get that statement?

    it might be 20 times better if the smputers are from 2o years ago.

  • @funky882 wtf are you talking about this program actually helps scientist curing diseases this is no gimmick to sell the ps3 sony has better ways for doing that. why would u buy a ps3 becouse it supports curing diseases :S, so when the ipad cures cancer everytime u use the internet would people start buying the ipad just for that? no thell better donate the money insteat of buying that thing.

  • wow so many people r fucking complaining about f@h. SHUT THE FUCK UP. f@h is for a good cause and it helps cure diseases like cancer. if u dont like it go back to a shitty x box. this is helping us in an unbeleivable way

  • sony should do a psa commercial with this

  • Oh yeah...Spam..SPAM i tell you!

  • I got a PS3 Dec. 20th this year. I have made about 10 units on Folding@Home so far. I know it's for a good cause, so every night when i go to sleep, I put it on Folding at home and turn my screen off. But IVE GOT ONE QUESTION. The protein thing in the bottom right....I know it squirms around n stuff, but with every level you gain, does it grow or something? Does it stay the same? I keep thinking I'm leveling up my protein to be bigger, but it doesnt feel like its growing. =/

  • I think that's what the protein actually looks like. Your CPU is just running calculations on it

  • go to life with playstation , its there

  • i still have no idea what this about, am i right saying they are using ps3s and pcs to contribute calculating how proteins do things and they give points for this? what do the points do

  • i run rosetta at home they are doing same kind of things

  • how can u say that u are so selfish to not keep this enabled on your computer/ ps3 when it takes almost to no power. i personally have diabetes ( family gene that causes problem with the pancreas) and i hope for a cure and i am praying to everyone that anyone selfish enough to not help a living soul out of a potentially life threatening disease that could cause blindness, early death, and the suffering of taking 5 shots DAILY to think about what you are doing. just think what if this will help

  • How old are you? Folding@Home connects all the computers using it in the world together to create a "Super super computer" making it possible to fold something that would normally take 30 Years on the average computer in 1 tenth of a second, This helps scientists and doctors learn more about diseases like cancer that there are still no cures for and kill hundreds of thousands of people a year and your bitching about your power, that you probably don't even pay for. Idiot.

  • @TokerMate soo basically if i leave my ps3 on this screen while im eatin dinner or watevs.. im curing cancer ? lol

  • @IAMBMXGOD Pretty much you're helping to find a cure yes.

  • @IAMBMXGOD Face Palm.

    Ok to people who don't understand its concept, it basically helps speed up the process by creating a faster computer when they tap in to your power.

    Faster computer=higher productivity

    higher productivity=easier to find cures for diseases

    This cures will probably help you or one of your family members, maybe not now but who knows

    Trolls=go back to COD

  • Your a fucking idiot, I suggest you read the comment I left for "fergoway2go" as if it was directed at you. I am quite sure "Your PARENTS" (Who most likely pay the pills) would support your folding@home and if they did not they still would not even notice a change in the power bill each month. Grow the fuck up.

  • hey whats folding@home???

  • An initiative started by Stanford university to figure out how proteins fold, an essential step in curing many diseases.

  • folding@home is a project by Stanford University. They're exploring the theory of protein folding in human cells and its effects on diseases, such as cancer. To do this, they are running simulations 24/7 and gathering data. However, there are few supercomputers in the world strong enough to do this, so instead, they are using the combined processing power of thousands of computers across the globe (cloud- computing). By running folding@home, you are contributing your computer's power to this.

  • tried this on an eeepc , EPIC FAIL.

  • You are using either an Intel Atom or Celeron, what do you expect?

  • LOL

  • @solidsnackumzzz No suprise >-<

  • Does it make any difference in joining a "team" on folding@home?

  • not as far as i can tell.

  • Comment removed

  • Earth to stupid bitch, I bought my PS3 to play videogames, not to leave it on all night just because some people don't have enough technology and power to do their fucking jobs.

  • Comment removed

  • And apparently you're too stupid to come up with your own comebacks so you just have to to point out that I have two thumbs down, like it even matters.

    Of course I don't expect people to agree with something as "evil" as not wanting to use your VIDEOGAME console to help researchers but since it is my PS3 and not yours, what I do with it is none of your pathetic business, get it? Good, don't reply, I'm through with you, stupid motherfucker.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Funny how you want to come off as the bigger man now that you've deleted your other stupid replies, like the ones where you call me an "ignorant pig" and an "arsehole" because I don't wanna use that, fuck you and "the gaming community" has nothing to do with it.

  • Well you're not helping yourself trying to make out I'm something I'm not. Please stop now, this video is about Folding@home, not about you.

  • You mean a hypocrite who wants to pretend he's educated and doesn't like arguments after he has deleted comments in which he calls other people assholes? Yeah, why don't you undelete your stupid comments and then post this again to see how it holds up? Oh that's right, you lack the balls to do that, trust me, you're a waste of time, bye now.

  • Deleting those comments had nothing to do with *you*! I just don't want any sort of "argument" to carry on. I don't want to talk about it anymore! You've made your point! You can stop!

    Because of all this, we have clogged up the topicality of these comments with this garbage. And you know what? It could of just ended ages ago, but you continue with the insensitive childish comments. So basically, I gave up on this several replies back but you keep on. I wasn't the one who decided to drag it out

  • You're the one who started it. I didn't feel like having some random guy calling me an asshole for what I decide to do or not do with MY PS3, if that doesn't sit well with you, then you can very well not reply to this comment and end this yourself, just stop pretending that you're above the situation and that I'm the immature one when you're the one who insulted me first.

  • Good! Then stop! The way you responded to this, you're just as bad as me anyway for continue to reply over and over. That's kinda reverse psychology but I digress, bye bye!

  • See? But then you wanna complain about how I drag it out, yet you don't stop either, hypocrite much? I seriously hope this was your last reply.

  • And you have no idea how I hope the same too.

  • Too bad I'm not here to please you, sucks for you, what's next?

  • You're not helping at all with comebacks, are you? I'm glad you're done, I really am.

  • LOL, was I trying to help? I don't think so.

  • dean ur a funny guy

  • i dident have to download folding at home, it came with my life with playstation

  • Yeah, at some point they changed the arrangement a bit.

  • im son getting a ps3 and im wondering what

    F@H actually does do??? and how it works

  • learn 2 google

  • Its insane how F@H vids become a battleground for the console war. Folding at home should be a respected project, and set aside from the stupid fanboy arguments.

  • When the PS3 is idle I use it to F@H for team HardwareCanucksForum ( 54196) GO CANADA :) looking for a team.please join all welcome.

  • SCREAMING FUCK DA COPS!!

    Dont get it twisted muthafuckas! Sony psp2 iz comin out for all ma homiez out there psp2 iz comin out so fuck the cops dawg

  • Shut the fuck up.

  • you shut the fuck up BiTcH psp go AKA psp 4000 came out you stupid muthafucka

  • Comment removed

  • how did a folding@home video turn into some Console war?

  • Dunno, fanboys would use anything as a way of promoting their console (PS3 supports science FTW) and that sort of thing.

    PS: If you have a PS3 or if your PC is always on and idle go to use F@H or download their application for

    PC, MAC and Linux and use your idle machines for something (you can even create a team and race to the top of the leaders board :P)

  • It's too bad that visualization doesn't look as good on home computers. Okay, I do understand that even dual core x86 (or rather x64) CPU is sh** comparing to PS3 RISC architecture processor. However people like me who contribute GPU (graphics processing unit) of their computers, which is a lot more effective should get some reward. Still, even though it doesn't look as good, I'm a proud contributor.

  • mine doesn't look like that, it shows cities and local news when you click on the city, and some cities have a live webcam

  • hold down square and go onto folding at home

  • i dont care... fanboy fighting is useless none of microsoft or sony developers are reading this so face it

  • you may be shocked but comments left on youtube are viewed by companies but as for console Wars, even if your as young as 20 you may never see sony or microsoft die because thay are both skiping along with success...

  • who cares you are a fanboy they both arew good consoles so i dont see the point of telling wich is the best

  • hey wtf , i only have playstation home!

  • ps3 is the ultimate entertainment system if you like games get an x box 360 get a wii

    if you want a console that does it all gives you more for free like home.

    my ps3 lets me watch the t.v whereever i am in the world using remote play and psp something the x box can only dream of

  • i have a ps3 but i have no idea what folding@home even does what does it do lol

  • Its a fact that ps3's are the cheapest computing power on the market at the moment, not too long ago 16 were networked to calculate the effects of a blackhole.

  • thats right, they use ps3's as a supercomputer for a fraction of the price!

  • You have to buy games for both to play games on them. PSN does not lag(at least for me) Killzone 2 looks like a great FPS, after reading reviews. There are great games on the ps3 that won't be on the pc, and vice versa.

  • PS3 never lags. It's overpriced, but how much do you have to pay for a computer that gets good graphics and can play blu-ray movies that you download from online? SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARLS. SO STFU PC N00B. The PS3 is smaller than every new PC I've seen. Also, "ugly" is an opinion, and it's not ugly. Not to mention the "bluetooth headsets" can be any bluetooth headset (and that's more added to the price of a PC, if you want bluetooth compatibility.)

  • I have a Ps3 so How do i get Folding@Home???? PLEASE ANSWER!!!!!!!

  • it will be a program in the next system update!

  • take ur 360 red ring of anal an shuv it up ur ass loozers! we got blue ray bitchas!

  • Calm down, don't you realise you are annoying everyone with you're anti-Xbox propaganda. What you do instead of insulting everyones choices is debate like a rational thinking human being or failing that, say nothing.

  • How is that related to folding@home? LOL. Unfortunately owning a PS3 hasn't improved your English skills.

  • well i got the 360 PS3 and Wii. i dont know whos side to take lol.

    ps3= pricey

    Xbox= ring of fire

    ps3= ultimate entertainment system

    xbox= better games and better gameplay.

  • PS3=cheaper in the long run, ultimate entertainment system, better games, better gameplay, and better graphics

    Xbox=costly to time and money, can't even surf the web let alone play blu-ray discs, only 2 games worth buying, 33% epic failure rate

  • K then buddy, Enjoy your shitty controls and graphics while we enjoy Awesome games, Graphics, Controls, Exclusives, online gameplay, and a kick ass system we took the time to get into.

  • Whats with all the fanboyism. I like all equally. I have a 360, Wii, A computer for gaming and I'm getting a PS3 for Christmas. Why are people like you so intolerant of other peoples choices.

  • Dave speaks the truth, they all have good and bad points, stop bitching about it nobody is making you buy one.

  • The NVIDIA GPU Power has overtaken PS3 Power. ATI will soon.

  • what is folding at home

  • a distributed computing program to solve medical problems

  • those yellow dots on the world map shows all of the people that who own a ps3

  • with folding@home

  • No, the YELLOW dots show PS3s currently using the Folding@Home program at that very moment according to there given location by ISP (geographically)

  • oh I tught it is

  • ps3s

  • good videos! 5 stars

  • dude no home pc can out perform the ps3

  • It has 7 CPU's but the GPU is fail, it's pretty much equivalent to my eVGA 8600GT 256MB.

    The 7 CPU's are nice and all, but I'm sure with a nicely overclocked quad (Intel core 2 extreme?), with 2-4GB RAM since consoles tend to seriously lack that (Overkill = 16GB RAM on 64-bit OS), and a decent video card like at least a 8600GT/GTS also overclocked (or if you want to go for overkill try a GTX 280 xD) is enough to wipe the PS3's ass. Shitty OEM PC's like Dell aren't going to be able to, but custom

  • true

  • Not if you get a decent PC but yeah if you're poor, better get a console.

  • lol, you cannot upgrade consoles, just one upgrade to a PC video card with decent cpu is good, especially with 2GB+ of ram, CONSOLES LACK RAM! And your limited to what the console has ported to it. On PC you can add all the nice stuff to increase image quality at cost of performance in the games, you have higher resolutions, anti aliasing, anisotropic filtering and so on.

    You have mods and software and everything else.

    PC layout also kicks ass.

    Keyboard and mouse is best way to play FPS.

  • No need to upgrade really, all games released for that specific console will run smooth unless they're buggy, anyway, i agree with what you said, i love dedicated servers, playing FPSs with mouse and keyboard, and most of all, flight sims and strategy games

  • Just turn your t.v. off :)

  • turn off, your TV, you prevent burn it, save money and help the climate

  • i dont get wat it iz...

  • i got a plasma screen television>>>>well duh :L:L:L lol

  • best thing sony could have done fuck all you kids that say other wise when you get cancer oneday you will realize how it helped

  • Ya you can play your PC which is so much better seeing as it has, what, 3 games you cant get on a console? Have fun until you relize you fucked yourself

  • ohh k...

    thnx man...

    was rele confused...

    thnx

  • hi...i downloaded about a month ago...but i still dint get it ..wht is dis thing...wht can we do with this folding home thingy.

  • I Like The Recent Update Well They Only Changed The Name From Folding@Home To Life With Playstation3

  • what a great easy way to help society

  • thanx!!!!!

  • yer but does it go on your hardrive

  • wot the fuck can you do with folding home

  • is it free?

  • you reken ay is this fun?

  • Join "Team Dr.House" Team Number 144366

  • Is folding home cool???Why is it cool

  • how do you get it on the ps3? thanks

  • you should have got it from an update

  • whats the whole point of folding at home? I mean whats it about?

  • Instead of one computer figuring out how protein folds, many computers linked on the internet can help.

  • it lends help to hospitals to add researching energy using the ps3 technology.

  • your going to save lifes for useing 5k of ramspace only . no bigie only 1.21frames less

  • dam it its not working for me it says error couldnt download from the server which sucks and i am sure that i am connected to the internet guyz can u plz help me i really wanna help in the folding@home process

  • i got the same thing try unplugging ur router if u have one or ur cable modem then plug it back in and turn ur ps3 while ur in the process :)

  • i did its still not working is it working for u?

  • hmmm do u have a modem try that as well usually ur connection will be weird like that keep tryna someitmes it will randomly work also lol

  • turn off the TV while using foldinghome it saves more power

  • i did that saintrow286 i need more life on this tv lol

  • # 138733 << Team MEDCON for Medical Contribution

  • How do we get newer music.

    All i Have is recomended.

  • The music you have installed on your HDD will play just hit square button when you are running the program and follow the directions.

  • 135477

  • that takes so much time...

    theres 5 hours left to me right now.. damn

  • Folding@home is a distributed computing project -- people from throughout the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world.

    In layman's terms, it's using all the CPU of every days peoples computers to do calculations to find cures for disease (distributed computing) instead of one super computer.

  • .... Thats what I thought.

    Just make it more ... English please.

  • its a bunch of people making one big ass super computer to help our everyday life

  • I DONT GET IT!

    Waht do you actually do on it except that know who else inthe world is online?

  • You doing somthing with you ps3, you dont actually get to play anything or do much besides watch if you want. But you are helping by making a supercomputer to help with calculations to help find cures of disease and stuff.

    Its not the kinda thing you should download if you hoping youd get somthign rightaway out of, you should download it if you want to help out somthing that can easily be left on over night to help the better of all people of the world.

  • Folding@Home (FAH) is basically about donating the idle cycles of the CPU in your system in order to simulate protein behaviour. The results are then uploaded to Stanford University's Chemistry Department server, and they use them to study diseases and find cures, etc.

    This kind of study requires tremendous computing power. (More than anyone can afford).

    So the Folding@Home project tries to create a pseudo supercomputer using the Internet and anyone who wants to donate their CPU time.

  • look at newfoundland canada, im gonna install it and see if a light comes over newfoundland

  • this isn't a game u giv power from ps3 to recyle

  • join 133280

  • ??? this isnt a game..

  • Helping to better all people of the world is a joke?

  • lol

  • DNA globule... LOL!!! It's a protein chain.

  • Well done.  I was going to criticize him for that as well. It's obvious to us, but not for the lay people.

  • mine took about like 2-3 minutes for all of it 2 download and i havent gone on da internet for like 3 months lol

  • join my my folding at home team 118417

  • anyone here like beating off on your ps3's to get it to shine up real nic
