Well done guys, lets keep up the good work...!

Yep, we're still slowly climbing, even though the number of active CPUs seems to be slowly dropping (down to 15 at this point). Seems to be a pretty hard sell with this to get new people joining in.

Just thought it's worth a mention that we have another 1000 WU+ club member here in the APi folding team.

Well done Jay290783 (or Jason F STAFF) on reaching as of now 1018 WU's completed. Congratulations again, and keep folding...

It might be worth another quick stats update, we now sit at 1156th place in the world out of 123620 teams. Seems like we're going up again, well done guys...

Nice work Jason.

As of 10 minutes ago, I am a member of team 54263 and on my way to complete my first unit. I have some catching up to do. My name is the same as here, Nec.

Wow..that was fast. Finished my first unit in 2 hours. I was folding my second within a minute of ending that one so i'm on my way. It says my second should be done in 2h 45m. I had stopped due to some friends showing up to try out COD4. I'll just let it run over night just to see what I can achieve by doing that. Hopefully a few.

Yeah, i'm getting a lot of 2-3 hour ones at the moment. The length and type of WU's vary over time so sooner or later they may start getting bigger. Still, they're there to be taken advantage of and it gets a few points on the board....

Welcome to the team Nec...

As for a stats update, we are ranked 1146th of 129800 teams.

Well done guys, keep up the Folding...!

What it does, Hulibert, is aid research toward possible cures to diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and several forms of cancer. They just don't have the computer space possible to handle all the data themselves so they make use of the PS3's Cell processor and use distributed computing to send the packets out to PS3s running the program.

It's been a while so i though it'd be nice if we all had a little stats update...

We sit at 1140th of 135948 teams...

It's nice to see us climbing the table again; we were actually down a few places a week or two ago. Well done!

We're still doing good although the same people still sit at the bottom (Those who've only done 1 or 2 work units and realized Folding@Home wasn't a fun video game) that were a year ago.

I've been neglecting the system lately, but I try to remind myself to switch over to folding every day after playing games. Maybe I should set my XMB Background picture to a Folding Protein, that would remind me before cutting the system off!

Great job dudes.

No one ever said it was going to be quick, Sam. These are diseases they have been trying to find the cure of for decades- now that the technology is there to lighten the load somewhat they are making use of it.

There is a full explanation at the front of the thread, nasher.

To summarize a bit, it is a medical research project by Stanford University, hoping to find breakthroughs toward cures/ treatments of various diseases. They send data packets called "work units" for the program to process and send the results back to analyze. The program only runs when you aren't doing anything else so it doesn't interfere with anything else you do on the system.

Couple of things to mention- first off, our current ranking is 1131 of 142297 teams- not bad but we can do a lot better, i think!

Also, some may have noticed things have changed a bit- the Folding@Home app is now "Life With PlayStation". Sony released their news/ weather app this past Wednesday, merging it with the Folding@Home program. Those of us currently running F@H will get a prompt to download the update when we restart the program. It's a 126 MB download (not overly big). To switch between seeing the two "channels" just hold the square button and flip up or down on the d-pad.
