Dell Computer and the University of Texas have sponsored a competition asking college kids to suggest ideas to "change the world". One submitted idea was for Dell (and other companies) to pre-install the World Community Grid agent on the computers they sell (much like having pre-installed screen savers or AOL). The goal would be to dramatically increase membership in World Community Grid, since the end-user would simply have to accept or decline running World Community Grid (and avoid the 5 minutes of effort currently required to install World Community Grid software).
If you like this idea, feel free to cast a positive vote for this suggestion at http://www.dellsocialinnovationcompetition.co...iew?id=087800000005G0hAAE (or do a google search on "Everyone's PC can help solve global problems: Pre-installing cure-finding software on new computers sold ") Kudos to the college student who made this suggestion...

Good effort.
----------------------------------------I voted for this (when you vote, it goes up by 10 votes, don't ask me why) . You need to register but it's ok if you have an extra email address. I saw that the leading idea has 3640 votes (witch really means 364). We can topple that, no? |
