    I read about this earlier today too... The gamers beat Rosetta (essentially another version of folding@Home Trebuchet mentions) in 5/10 scenarios. Of the remaining, the two essentially tied for 3 of them, and Rosetta was better (but still not correct) for 2.

    The human brain is still more powerful than computers for some tasks, it would seam :)
