Can distributed computing save the world? Thanks to OxBlog for this tip--a number of leading companies and NGOs (IBM, NIH, WHO, UN, etc) have partnered together to release a distributed computing scheme targetted at solving world health dilemmas.

It uses spare processing power to crunch data analyses. Neat stuff...
