What is Life with PlayStation (Folding@Home)?
(back to top) On the September 18, 2008 the PlayStation 3’s Folding@Home application became “Life with PlayStation.” Along with the existing Folding@Home functionality, the application also provides users with access to information “channels,” the first of which being the Live Channel which offers news headlines and weather through a 3D globe. The user can rotate and zoom in to any part of the world to access information provided by Google News, The Weather Channel, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Space Science and Engineering Center, among other sources. At E3 2008, Jack Tretton announced a new partnership between Sony and Google which will allow users to upload video content directly to YouTube from within games (such as Mainichi Issho). This is also part of the Life with PlayStation service.
