Last week Sony teamed up with Stanford University and formed a project called Folding@Home, by means of which the console would be use with a supercomputing network researching causes of cancer, Alzheimer's and other incurable diseases. In a similar move, we have the Xbox 360 smiling compassionately at Rosetta@Home, another distributed protein-folding program. Rosetta@Home had received $10 million from the Gates Foundation of HIV research sometime last year. It is common knowledge that any distributed folding program would be developed outside of the XNA framework.

It’s glad to see PS3 and Xbox 360 working (hand-in-hand, hopefully) to eradicate Alzheimer's and HIV respectively.
