Our newest obsession: Folding@home on the go

Yes, that's a PSP system running Folding@home. But how? A new update of this research tool was released for the PS3 today, and it allows you to activate Folding@home through PSP Remote Play. It's not a big deal for many (if not most) PSP owners, but this kind of console interactivity makes those of us lucky to own both platforms giddy with excitement. With this latest update, we'll be able to watch anime stored on our PS3 hard drive and cure cancer while sipping our morning coffee at Starbucks. This kind of admittedly useless functionality makes tech geeks like us feel strangely ... powerful.
