Wired News has an interesting article on distributed computing with a twist. Why not put to use all the spare computing cycles that game consoles generate? Given that the current XBox is a 733 MHz machine, and the XBox 360 is supposed to have 3 3.25 GHz CPUs, you’re looking at over 13 times more processing power than the original. And given that most XBoxes are connected to the internet full time, why not process data in a distributed computing grid?

Halo 2 funny stuff

So I was playing Halo 2 on XBox Live last night, and something really funny occurred. The game was on the Coagulation map. I was busy defending my base, when all the enemies disappeared and headed back to their base. I headed outside to catch a ride to their base with my team mates, and quickly jumped into a Warthog. Right in front of us was an enemy Banshee, so I started shooting, and quickly brought it down. Then the driver of the Warthog jumps out and starts shooting me, and quickly finishes me off. The driver of the Warthog was the enemy! I hitched a ride with the enemy! I almost fell off the couch I was laughing so hard.
