Need Help .. What else should be posted?

Since there doesn't appear to be much work on porting mpeg libraries to the cell processor in Linux (to make use of the massive parallel processors) ... What else should I write about?

Have a good post or link you want to see here? Just post it as a comment and I will add the really good ones as new posts.
