Talk:PlayStation 3 will be used to help cure cancer and Alzheimer's
is that 150,000 cpus nationwide or world wide? And if nationwide exactly what nation?

September
editI think when the article says september it actually means the ATI GPU program for PCs
So, does this mean wiki is a place for corporate hype? This article is crap
- In what way, and where does ATI come into this? --Errant 14:07, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
OR
editI wrote an article about folding for w:Micro Mart about folding (published febuary this year) - is the citeable as a source and can I write extra details to expand upon it (as a source) as an expert on this subject - does that need special tagging --Errant 14:17, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- Although I could source some of the original sources of info I used for the article :D duh! --Errant 14:23, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Interview
editOk Im going to get and inmporve this article now, but just to let people to know that I requested an Interview with professor pande - who's tem run the folding project - both for an article here and in Micro Mart. Here is a copy of the preliminary email I sent to him, I will also post it on the article talk page whenb I write it! lets hope he reponds:
Hi,
My name is Thomas Morton and I am an Independent reporter for the English version of wiknews, a free online news source (sister of wikipedia) as well as a contributor to British weekly computer magazine Micro Mart I also (incidentally) run a folding@home rig - but that is of little relevance.
The imminent release of the PS3 client is an exciting piece of news and, as an enthusiast for your project, I am currently in the process of writing an article for Wikinews about it. That is all very nice and is well sourced but I wonder if I can take a few minutes of your time and ask for a short interview with you - about the folding project as a whole and the new client. It would be nice as a sort of complimentary piece for the wikinews article. I would also, with your permission, like to submit the piece to be published in Micro Mart as well.
Some background, I have already written 2 articles on folding for Micro Mart as a leading member of the folding team set up on the magazines forums - in an attempt to get team support and publicise folding to the UK computing community. For Wikinews I am a sometimes contributor to technology pieces - especially folding related articles.
I should point out (in line with Wikinews policy) that any comments you make will be published online on en.wikinews.org (but that's fairly obvious anyway, I just have to mention it). I can also email you a copy of the 'finished' article, if you agree to perform the interview, for your approval before publication.
I have not been so presumptuous to include the interview questions with this email as I know you are probably very busy but if you do have time to spend 10 to 20 minutes answering my questions it would be appreciated. I don't know the best way to perform the interview if you agree- probably email is the best method. Alternatively some form of Instant messenger (although that might be problematic in sorting out a suitable time).
If you would be happy to be interviewed please let me know by return email and I will forward you the questions.
Thanks in advance for anytime you can give me and I eagerly await your response.
