Site Update: Folding, SETI, Photos, Tunes, and News

Saturday November 15, 2003 3:23 pm PST by Arnold Kim
- MacRumors Folding @ Home Team is currently the 25th overall ranked team and remains the #1 Mac Folding team. If you want to help, see our FAQ or visit our Distributed Computing forum.



- MacRumors SETI@Home Team is also going strong. See the Distributed Computing forum for further assistance.



- Doctor Q has put together a MacRumors Photo Directory which matches faces with usernames of many MacRumors users.



- DailyTunes.com now offers 1190 individual iTunes song recommendations. New song recommendation submissions have been streamlined thanks to weefle. Only a single iTunes song link is required to make a song recommendation and all the necessarily information is pulled automatically from the iTunes Music Store.



- A reminder that MacBytes.com tracks other interesting Mac news stories, opinion pieces, and happenings in the Mac Community that may not make it to the MacRumors front page.

you should get that 1100 node super computer to fold for a couple of minutes for your team! Take you to first place perhaps.

We actually together are close to as powerful as the Big Mac. Our team shows 912 active processors this week. I believe dualies count as one (mine seems to). Ok, so BigMac's faster, but not more than a few times faster, than the MacRumors team.

Power to the People :)

Okay, who ranked this thread negative? Just curious - I mean, I think the folding ranking is great, the photo directory is an excellent idea for the MacRumors community, and Daily Tunes is an excellent resource for people.

Sorry, I just don't see any negatives to this. If someone feels different, I have no problems with that at all, it just kind of surprises me. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion though! :)

Some people just get a kick out of posting a negative.

If you left a thread on the main page long enough that said "Apple profits $1Bil and cures cancer" it would pick up seven or eight negatives. And when I say "long enough" I mean about three hours.

I've always wondered why there are a few people in the team who folded a bunch of units but have next to no points. Anyone know? Like, for example, Laslo_Panaflex, who has 2000+ units and hardly any points!
