(Computing) Power To The People
A cure for cancer and muscular dystrophy could be lurking in your computer.
IBM is spearheading the World Community Grid an international project which invites anyone with a computer and an internet connection to volunteer their computer’s idle time to perform scientific calculations.
Grid computing links your humble computer to hundreds of thousands of other computers to create one of the world’s largest super computers.
During a normal work day your PC’s computing power is laying idle about 80% of the time, so why not put it to great use.
Details about the World Community Grid and what you can do to help can be found here.
Fatality Free Friday Update
Speaking of great causes, thank you to everyone who signed the Fatality Free Friday pledge.
The first ever event was held on April 27 as part of the United Nation’s Global Road Safety Week and the response from Governments through to individuals was outstanding. The event was covered by media across the country and was also supported by the Australian Super-V8 drivers as well as a large number of local councils and state transport departments.
Business Communications Management is proud to be a part of this road safety initiative founded by long-time client and friend, Russell White, Australia’s foremost road safety expert.
While this year’s campaign had only a token budget, plans are already underway to make 2008 Fatality Free Friday bigger than ever, with the support of corporate sponsors.
Remember, you can make every day fatality free by being ‘switched on’ behind the wheel.
