Folding@Home updated

Dec 19, 2007

If you're one of those people who likes to leave your PS3 on for it to do some protein folding thing you don't understand, you'll be pleased to know you can now do it to the rough beats of Wu-Tang. Or chirpy chimes of Steps, whichever you prefer.

That's because the Folding@Home Client on your PS3 has been updated with new features, including a handy background music player, so you can play tunes off your hard drive while your PS3 folds... stuff.

Also, if you like leaving your electricity-guzzling PS3 on to fold, but ironically find yourself somewhat concerned about your electric bill or the environment, you can now set the auto shut-down option.

Just hit the FAH icon on your PS3 to get the latest version, and fold on with your rock on. Or Steps.
