I’ve upgraded my Folding@Home to Life with Playstation, the idea is nice, make the folding application more useful to people and hopefully harness more CPU time.

The thing is I have the following questions……..

Why has the address bar been disabled within the web browser?
I can click “more news” which opens a browser session to google news, so why can’t I hit “start” open a “go to” dialog and browse any page I like? Folding would get a lot more of my CPU time if I could watch you tube video withing the “life” interface.

In light of yesterdays ps3 news please can you release a patch to covert Ratchet & Clank skill points into Trophies.

I think this would be a good use of the system, it would be nice for us gamers to automatically earn some trophies based on some of the games we’ve already played; this idea benefits the publishers too as “friends” will be able to see other users games and may be influenced to buy them

…and DUELSHOCK3 support too please.

Thanks!

If you saw this tweet, you’ll see that a little while ago I had some fun with Playstation 3 online gaming; it’s probably my own fault because I’m possibly the only person with a version 6 Cisco Pix Firewall at home in front of their playstation.

If you want to get online gaming working though your firewall there’s a really good online reference here and my specific grumble about having to open up a shed load of ports for EA’s Burnout paradise is documented in their support area.

To summarize, this is what I’ve got open:

I’m proper into the 24hr wallpapers I have around me at the moment, fedora’s infinity 24 changes whilst I’m at work and the PS3 XMB changes whilst I play.

The thing is my ps3 wallpaper has changed from yellow to green, now this wouldn’t normally be an issue as most gameplay happens in the evening and the screen changes to black by then, but looking at the wikipedia page for the XMB I’m in for some pinks & greens in the next couple of months…. not to my taste at all, it’s a shame that Sony don’t let you choose which colours the XMB scrolls through… ho-hum it was nice whilst it lasted, I wonder if I can find any cool animated wallpapers for my PS3?

I’ve been offline for a while, but I’ve just seen this:

The Associated Press: New Antivirus Software for Playstation 3
The company bills the software as the first of its kind for a home gaming system. It was released earlier this month as part of a PS3 upgrade and will be free until April.

This is a really positive thing to see; by the fact that there is a market there shows that “Joe gamet” is thinking about security , it’s a shame that sony aren’t giving this away for free but I guess that business .
