Emulation Explosion On the PS3 Via Linux 

,----[ Quote ]
| The PlayStation 3 has recently seen an explosion of releases of emulators and 
| games for the Yellow Dog Linux distro for PS3; once you have installed Yellow 
| Dog Linux you then have the ability to try out MAME, SNES, Amiga, Dos, 
| Commodore and Atari emulators (that's the tip of the iceberg) and such games 
| as Quake 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Hexen 2 and Alephone. Time to start installing 
| Linux on your PS3?

How to Turn Your PlayStation 3 Into a Linux PC (and Win Our Mod)

,----[ Quote ]
| The Cell processor inside Sony's PlayStation 3 is a powerhouse that lets the
| gaming console render highly detailed graphics at blistering speed. That same
| chip gives the PS3 all the processing muscle it needs to become a fully
| functional computer. When we first heard this was possible, we were sure the
| procedure had to be illegal, or that it would at least void the warranty. But
| as it turns out, this is that rarest of finds in consumer electronics: a
| perfectly legal, manufacturer-supported hack that adds significant
| functionality. With a little bit of effort and expense, we turned a PS3 into
| a Linux computer—without losing any of the machine's native gaming goodness.
| And we'd like one of our readers to win it.

Stream Excel, Word, Access to your living room [PS3+Linux] TV

,----[ Quote ]
| The free version of the software will allow you to stream at 640x480, which
| is pretty crap, but if you’re willing to pay up, you can go all the way to
| 3200x2400 - although the system requirements for that are should be pretty
| high, like an octoSLI or sumthin'.
