Facebook Application from Intel to Power to Research

Intel Launches Facebook App to Share PC Power for Research: "Intel has teamed up with Facebook to harness the processing power, and compassion, necessary to pursuing research projects aimed at finding cures for cancer, HIV, Alzheimer's and other diseases.

What this essentially means that Intel wants you-the PC users to make use of your processing power of your desktop to harness it for greater good of the society

Intel launched a beta Facebook application called Progress Thru Processors, which users can download to donate their computers' idle processing power.

Medical research relies on complex calculations requiring considerable processing power which now can be used to power research projects . Intel, along with GridRepublic, a nonprofit that pairs people with spare processing power, said it believes that individuals can help make a difference."
