PS3 = owned

Elemmire see how perturbed your getting. Thats why.
 
I'm not really perturbed at all.. I just think he's an idiot and an attenton whore :P I'm more annoyed at the people that are like "ZOMG THAT'S SO FUNNY!!!" and most are ones that would frown if it was an XBox 360 or a Wii that was smashed publicly and that they aren't at least annoyed at the loss of such an advanced piece of machinery :\ it's like saying
 
the PS3 was free for him, people donated the money to him KNOWING that it was going to be destroyed, just to piss people off, and guess waht, he did it... nothing more to it, he did what he was paid for basically...
 
Looks like we have now lost 1/ 2 of all the working ps3 on the market atm.
 
What an absolute idiot. Complete waste of time, money and valuable technology.

lol it would be funnier if it was his money, then I can laugh, but him paying with other people money then destroying dumb.

Also ps3 if far Superior then xbox 360 they was comparing it to the large super computers, as for the games they will come. Not very smart to buy first gen anyway lot more chances for bugs.

Er, you realize he does this for pretty much every console, right? There's a smashmywii.com, smashmyxbox.com, smashmyipod.com, etc...

Impossible, Rappa! Anyone that does something evil to Sony or Playstation is a Sony Hating Nintendo Fanboy! Theres no one in the world thats neutral on the subject who things Sony's failing!
 
Brain damage is a terrible thing. >.>

Maybe we should sick PETPS (People for the Ethical Treatment of Playstations) on him. <.<

He sounds quite nuetral to me. he obviously thinks all entertainment technology is the devil and therefore must be smashed.
 
In other news, 3 people that I know of have been killed do to the PS3 in Chicago. Enjoy while I find the article.

Its not due to the ps3, its due to the money that the people are carrying.

And thats why you pay for full on Preorders. Not only that, but if the store manager has any common sense, it means you have priority over people who put down minimum payments.

reading comprehension ftw? I didn't say the guy was a sony hater, I said most who are laughing at this are sony haters (as I bet you they are). As in most who laughed at the Xbox smash were microsoft haters. And those who are gonna laugh when they smash the Wii (assuming they do) are gonna be Nintendo haters. I find THAT retarded they hate a company so much to not be annoyed at the destruction of such a fine piece of machinery.

I will smack all of you that laugh at that Clip

You all need to go to this link... and read the good side of the most powerful commerically used game console in the world right now http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/fun.games/09/18/playstation.folding/index.html

First, Cell Processor is more then just powerful, it help found a cure and fight cancer. Many Hospital had replace their life saving techology equipment using Cell Processor Techology. There is a reason why they call that Processor almost like a supercomputer, it can do so many calculation in short amount of time. And that faggot who smacked that PS3 could be 1 step closer to find a cure and fight cancer.

PS3 is one amazing techology Sony had created, you guys should be praud to own one of the most powerful console system for civilian/commerical usage, Cell Processor should be kept for cancer reasearcher, government and many usage in hospital.. You guys should be happy about that...

Is more then a game console, it can save lifes



The PS3's chip is the same one IBM is using in a supercomputer it's building for the Department of Energy. That computer is expected to reach speeds of one petaflop, or 1,000 trillion calculations per second. (Full story)
"It has so much horsepower and, of course, when you're playing a game all that horsepower will be used for the game. But there are a lot of times during the day when somebody's not playing the game," said Sony's Richard Marks. "It seemed like a good idea to be able to use that horsepower for something else that is, in this case, good for mankind."
Sony worked with Stanford University's Folding@home project to harness the PS3's technology to help study how proteins are formed in the human body and how they sometimes form incorrectly.

PlayStation's serious side: Fighting disease

(CNN) -- Kids aiming to persuade their parents to buy the PlayStation 3 have some new ammunition -- donating their PS3's down time to researchers could help cure Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or mad cow disease.
This November, Sony's PS3, with a price tag from $499 to $599, will challenge Microsoft's XBox 360 and Nintendo's Wii in a battle royale for holiday dollars when it hits stores in the United States and Japan.
The PS3 uses a powerful new processor called the Cell Broadband Engine to run highly realistic games like "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07," "Metal Gear Solid 4" and "Full Auto 2." It also has a 20GB or 60GB hard drive (depending on the model) and can connect to the Internet either wirelessly, or with an Ethernet hookup so gamers can download new programs and take each other on.

"It has so much horsepower and, of course, when you're playing a game all that horsepower will be used for the game. But there are a lot of times during the day when somebody's not playing the game," said Sony's Richard Marks. "It seemed like a good idea to be able to use that horsepower for something else that is, in this case, good for mankind."
Sony worked with Stanford University's Folding@home project to harness the PS3's technology to help study how proteins are formed in the human body and how they sometimes form incorrectly.
Improperly formed proteins are linked to a number of diseases, including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, cystic fibrosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gherig's disease, and bovine spongiform encephalopathy, better known as mad-cow disease.
"What you can imagine is that if a machine was assembled incorrectly, it can do damaging things," said Vijay Pande, who runs the Stanford project. "You can imagine a car that's screwed up and someone tries to drive it, then maybe it crashes into things and causing problems."
Proteins start out in the body as long strings of amino acids and have to assemble themselves into complex shapes -- a process scientists call folding -- before they can do anything. The challenge for scientists is that folding is difficult to observe because proteins are so small and the process is so fast -- about 10 one-millionths of a second.
Scientists are using computer simulations instead, but that has its own limitations. It takes about a day for a computer to simulate a nanosecond (one-billionth of a second) so it would take about 30 years for that computer to complete one simulation.
Folding@home uses a network of about 200,000 personal computers to simulate how proteins assemble themselves. Dividing the complicated calculations into smaller packets enables the computers to do jobs that would strain the most powerful supercomputers.
"These calculations that we have to do are very challenging. Even if we were given all of the supercomputer resources in the country we still would not be able to do the types of things that we can do with folding@home," said Vijay Pande, who runs the Stanford project.
A network of PS3s would run even faster. Pande said that a network of 10,000 PlayStations would increase speeds by a factor of five, and 100,000 would be 50 times faster than what they can do today.
"It turns two years into one month, and that's a huge thing for us," he said. "It's more than us just being impatient, there are calculations that we don't run right now because any calculation that would take more than two or three years, we don't even start it."
To participate, users will just download a program into the PS3's hard drive. Then they just need to leave the machine on when they're not playing. The Folding@home team will divide their complex calculations into manageable chunks and then send it to the participating machines. The program and data will take up 10 to 20 megabytes - or about the size of a handful of MP3 files, Pande said.
When the PS3 is done processing its chunk it will send the data back.
Makers say the program won't run when someone is using the PS3, because it might bog down the game.
Sony says it plans to sell about 2 million PS3s in the United States and Japan before the end of the year, and 6 million worldwide by next March.
Since all of those units are pretty much the same, developers did not have to make compromises that would slow the Folding@home program down.
"You don't really know what you're getting on any given PC, so you have to write the program in a general way so that it will run on weaker machines and stronger systems, Marks said. "They have to write programs sort of to the lowest common denominator, whereas on our system it can be finely tuned to completely leverage what we have."
The PS3 also has a graphic chip that lets users watch the protein as it folds and from different angles, said Klaus Hofrichter, another Sony developer.
"These interfaces are very nice looking, very scientific in a certain way. ... You can use the controller and navigate around," Hofrichter said.
That might make people more likely to download and run the program, Pande said.
All PS3s connect to the Internet, and Sony plans to make it easy for gamers to get the program when they go online, Marks said.
"What we want is for people just to have to make the decision to contribute electricity and benefit mankind," Marks said.
