Posted by squishydemon on January 12, 2008
As they wait, every hour hundreds of people contract and die from infectious diseases.
While computer owners run their screen savers, millions die from hunger, or environmental disasters devastate whole communities.
What if each of the worlds almost 1 billion PCs could be linked to focus on humanity’s most pressing issues?
To make this vision a reality, SD Innovative Solutions has become a partner of World Community Grid, joining the IBM Corporation and a group of more than 370 companies, associations, foundations, nonprofits, government agencies & academic institutions.
