https://www.linickx.com/Mon, 22 Sep 2008 12:33:00 +0100https://www.linickx.com/thoughts-on-life-with-playstation<p>I've upgraded my <a href="http://folding.stanford.edu/">Folding@Home</a> to <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/09/17/start-your-%E2%80%9Clife-with-playstation%E2%80%9D/">Life with Playstation</a>, the idea is nice, make the folding application more useful to people and hopefully harness more CPU time.</p> <p>The thing is I have the following questions........</p> <p><strong>Why has the address bar been disabled within the web browser?</strong><br /> 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.</p> <p><strong>Do the folding developers own a PS3 remote control?</strong><br /> Ever seen <a href="http://uk.playstation.com/ps3/hardware/accessories/detail/item48494/Blu-ray-Disc-Remote-Control/">this, a bluetooth remote control</a>? It works great with the PS3 media player, I can pause, skip and seek all music and video content, I find it a bit weird how the "life with playstation" application doesn't support any of these buttons!</p> <p>Hopefully these are just small gripes which can be easily fixed in the next addition, but the remote control thing is a real show-stopper for me, Folding CPU time is limited to "controller charging" time only for me until I can control my music properly within this app!!</p>nickMon, 22 Sep 2008 12:33:00 +0100tag:www.linickx.com,2008-09-22:thoughts-on-life-with-playstationBlogfolding@homePlaystation3
