If it was an automated algorithm that ID'd trees, I'd say no, this could be useful in other id'ing applications (maybe rocks, maybe separating natural from artificial objects or vice versa, etc).
If it was 1000 poor interns/schoolkids paid to click on 80000 trees each, then ok, you win, this was a bad idea.
a PS3 already? I've been waiting for years for a good price drop (like to $200), but this news is not encouraging. I pretty much only like racing and RPGs so I'm not sure what I would play besides GT5 (maybe Yakuza, that was pretty fun on the PS2)
I don't want more Simcites, I just want a patch for Spore where you can assign a damn lieutenant or someone that can take care of your collections/simple alien attacks. I didn't want my dreams of exploring the center of the galaxy to be dashed simply because I didn't know how to hire someone.
