It's like Canadian politics, only Ontario and Quebec matter.

I like the life with playstation option. It's too similar to the same thing on the wii though. I'm sure that more stuff could be added to life with playstation. A cool thing would be to view a news article on youtube.com so that you watch the event there. The window for folding@home is improved because before if I wanted to view information on folding@home, like the current work unit, the browser had a funny habbit of freezing on me for a few seconds, but you should have the option to view everything full screen because reading something in a small window is difficult. Could we get a 3D view like on google earth?

silversnake · 09-18-2008, 05:38 PM

I'm happy , considering Montreal made the cut. Awesome application and the potential is even bigger. Can't wait for more stuff to come out.

More Google Earth stuff would be very cool indeed but the 3D rendering would have to be overhauled for the zoom in detail increase and would never look as polished as it does now.

cclarkson24 · 09-18-2008, 06:40 PM

I don't know about this. Where are all the option they had before for Folding @ Home like Normal/Advance? Checking Stats etc....

Also if you can auto shutdown after current WU. It seems all those options are gone.

stockstar1138 · 09-18-2008, 06:48 PM

seriously, add some more american cities, thats ridiculous that nairobi, muscat and lima are on the list, but St. Louis isn't.

i bet there are more people within a 5 mi. radius that own PS3s than there are people with PS3s in the entire countires that those cities are located in

All those options are still there in the triangle menu. You need to be in the Folding channel to view the related options. Hold Square and press up/down on the dpad to change channels.

no offense but USA is not the only place in the world. They went for the BIG MAJOR CITIES , and St. Louis simply is not. I'm sure they'll incorporate more and more but for now they are releasing a few cities and testing it out. Don't hate on nairobi , muscat and lima

Egypt donkey jailed for theft
3 hours ago
CAIRO (AFP) — An Egyptian donkey has been jailed for stealing corn on the cob from a field belonging to an agricultural research institute in the Nile Delta, local media reported on Thursday.
The ass and its owner were apprehended at a police checkpoint that had been set up after the institute's director complained that someone was stealing his crops, the state-owned Al-Ahram daily said.
The unnamed ungulate was found in possession of the institute's corn and a local judge sentenced him to 24 hours in prison. The man who had his ass thrown in jail got off with a fine of 50 Egyptian pounds (nine dollars, six euros).

Without LwP I'd never have known!

Feeling a little ethnocentric right now are we stockstar?
They'll add more cities in time. Canada got screwed over too. I think they only put Montreal and Toronto.

Im sure Europe feels shafted too. And asia. 60 cities isnt very much no matter how you look at it. But they'll add more.
