Join the Sunday Night Foldathon

This Sunday night, March 25, all PS3 users who want to help a good cause will turn on their systems and run the folding@home program. Anytime during Sunday is fine. But it would be best to turn it on before you go to bed and let it run all night.

The reason behind this you ask? To let Sony & Stanford University know that there project is being appreciated and that the PS3 community is willing to help out. Folding@Home attempts to understand diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and many forms of cancer among others. Folding@Home is a optional feature released with the next firmware update from sony.

So are you going to help out? I am :)
