If you're not familiar, Folding@Home is a Stanford University project that analyzes protein folding patterns to work toward cures for diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer. All you need to do is download the program and leave it running when you're not using your computer; Your compy's spare processing capacity is put to good use performing incredibly complex protein folding calculations.

Recently, the Folding@Home team released a version of their software that runs on Sony's Playstation 3. Today I glanced at the leader board, which breaks out the calculations by platform, updated hourly, and realized that the PS3 has taken the program to a completely new level, now accounting for 666 of the total 920 TeraFlops (72%!) of total distributed computing power. And it's probably increased since I checked. How crazy.
