Looks promising, but still does not justify the price tag of the PS3.

^i probably wont buy a ps3 either, how much would a gamer use this...however it is well worth it to researchers, a ps3 is CHEAP compared to other tools

^rofl ps3 fanboy, im not a fanboy of any console. but you havent even seen a ps3 in person yet

the ps3 will suck, not because of games or performance, but because of the price compared to "equivalent" systems

i criticized people who bought the 360 at those ridiculous prices, i think anyone who buys a ps3 should be shot

So when everyone plugs into the PlayStation version of X-Box Live they will finally be able to solve the traveling salesman problem?

I'm pretty sure that this can't be done over the internet, at least the internet system that we currently have in this country.

I think they are gonna have to buy these 10,000 PS3's themselves and put them in the same room, which would cost $5,000,000 (possibly more if they are modified versions).

Although it is still probably cheaper than a supercomputer, so I guess that is a good deal.

ummm... people are already doing this over the internet....
