Helping to change the future by leaving your PC on? / Gaming socially?

Hey folks, recently i added a post about a piece of software on my Playstation three. I was browsing the web for more on New Media Technology and i saw this article on the same software. This piece is for Personal Computers rather than Playstations, however it works upon the same lines. Dontaton of computing power for other causes, just by leaving your PC, or playstation's power on. Is this a waste of electricity? No, probably not as thinking about it. The scientific project now using our computing power, would have probably had to use the same amount of electricty to power its own computers had they been left on. The Link for the BBC's Article is above.

I was also recently researching my own topic, of the convergence between Social networking and the gaming industry. I happened to stumble upon this article about PlaystationHome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Home <<< This is a link to the Wikipedia article about PlaystationHome. I will soon be updating again and following the progress of the developers of PlaystationHome to see when it is released so i can download it!. Then i can write about it all.
I have also made a purchase of (Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare) for the Playstation three. I thought id take a little time out to say what a fantastic game with a fantastic online multiplayer. If any of you out there have this game look out for "Thecarbonator" by the way... add me as a friend and we can have a game or two. The game uses the PlaystationNetwork to match make games of up to 12 players in combat situations of arenas all over the world. You can use any bluetooth headset to chat to the players you are playing with and coordinate your teams combat against other teams in the game. The System is quick and even players on a low bandwidth do not get Pinged from the game as it runs on one flat server with only one playspeed. Which happens to be quick. If you ever get the chance to play this game then definately do. Its like a gaming social networking with people becoming members of Clans, with the clans having their own Tags etc.
Thanks for listening...

Update soon.....
