Seems pretty cool, but how much access would they have?

it's a gimmick, trying to make parents feel better about their kid wasting their life playing video games, so they'll be more inclined to purchase the ps3. and that's all it is.

"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."
yeah, right. These will stay on for about 3 months straight when new.

I wouldn't want anyone going into my PS3 when I'm not around.

Who cares if they have access to your PS3 or not? What are they going to do, copy your saved game? OOOOOOHHHHHHHHH

I don't think it's a good idea to use spare cycles like that by default. I'd applaud having it as an option, off by default. But on by default is going to use more electricty and generate heat from the machine. I wouldn't want that on by default.
