omfg. Life is not well distributed at all! I mean.... Lisbon doesn't even show, but you go to America you have like....14 different cities!! I mean come one!! Athens doesn't show too, and you have major holes in Africa.

Always the same, America above all. Getting tired....no.....I am tired of this.

Kuwait City in the house!!!!! Na seriously. It really sucks, no reason it shouldn't have the city your in on the map. All it does it google the city, and show headlines. The day/night line is not accurate cause sun is rising right now here but it's not like that on the globe. Oh well, I won't use it but the music might help me get to ZzzZZzzZZzz

It basically looks like the Wii's News Channel mixed with the F@H app.

I think it just overlays the folding client with the global weather and skimpy news.

Yea, and as another poster said, a rather sneaky way to get people to fold. I wouldn't mind if it were separate.

I like the layout and navigation of it, very smooth and nice. Easier for me to just check the news and weather on the net, or walk outside..

Hopefully it gets some more channels soon.

Just downloaded it. It's pretty slick, but a bit pointless. Does anyone know how to view the "live video feed" that LWP brags about? If I keep watching it long enough, maybe I'll see a car crash :P

Is it just me or does it seem like Life With Playstation takes up a lot of power. My fan kicked in right away and hasn't stopped until I exited out.

I like it. I don't see why some of you are saying it's a "sneaky" way of having people use Folding@Home. For one, Folding@Home exists to help in medical research and unless you're some nutball fundamentalist, who wouldn't be for that? Another is that it's always been known to be an integration with Folding@Home and it's a neat way to check out the news and weather (even though my city is not listed) while doing the Folding, especially since prior there really wasn't much to do while Folding.

Free yes. Useless, yes. What have I gained here? Sony needs to put more of their resources on things we actually care about like tue in game music, voice messages, and in game voice chat etc.

It's called run it in the background as a pertinent process (opt-in) when you're not running a game. That way, you shouldn't need to run a client like how the ps3 did it before. And secondly, maybe I don't want a ps3 that howls like it's trying to become its own wind tunnel 24/7/365. And with the kind of power that a ps3 sucks down (especially the launch units), you definitely wouldn't want to see the electric bill for trying to do that the first time around. Must be fun not having to pay your own electric bills. :|
