Gimme Fiction by Spoon is a terrific album by an Austin band that I was lucky enough to catch on an Austin radio station during a Christmas visit.

Scientific Computing on the Apple TV
Wednesday, April 11th, 2007 at 3:00 PM - by John Martellaro
The Pentium M processor in the Apple TV packs a 2.4 gigaflop punch for not a lot of money and a fraction of the power and space of a Mac Mini, according to the My Mac & Apple TV Blog.
That naturally leads to the idea of using the Apple TV as a component in a distributed processing system for scientific research.
"The Apple TV now joins the PS3 as being the second "console" type unit to participate in online grid science. Sony�s game console�s participation in Stanford University�s Folding@Home project has been nothing less than stellar, however it has been stated that the kinds of grid-computing calculations that the PS3�s Cell processor can be used for are fairly limited," the Blogsite reported.
On the other hand, the Intel CPU and Mac OS X offer the possibility of an inexpensive general purpose grid computer. "Having deployed the first Apple TV for grid computing purposes, I have been folding proteins for Rosetta@Home using the BOINC client for two days now with great success."
Next stop: Folding@Home.
