Comments on: IBM, Harvard tap compute cloud for solar research

A grid computing project led by Harvard will seek to analyze the properties of organic materials that can be used for making cheap solar cells that make electricity.

Sounds intresting, I'd like to see where this goes whenever it is complete.

IBM and Harvard are looking to the cloud for the answers but they are 5-10 years too late. The cloud is only as good as the data and applications that connect over this cloud. The Manhattan 2 Project has been working on Cloud Solar for years. We own the domains and we own the data. Our cloud is a private cloud. If IBM wants in lets us know. Our cloud of data and more importantly scientists and engineers has created a Renewable Energy Program that makes sense. This cloud everyone talks about is simply shared computer processing. Human ingenuity can never be put into this cloud but humans can analyze the data from this cloud. IBM or Harvard please email us at [e-mail] . Mitch Govansky.

One thing you have to be aware of before joining World Community Grid is that some of the distributed computing projects might compromise your ethics. You don't get a say in what projects your computer works on (at least, you didn't last time I checked). This is why I ended off doing Folding @ Home.

It's called coal, morons!

dbargen, you are a clueless idiot. People like you are why our country is as screwed up as it is. Too many idiots that's why.

3rdalbum has no idea what he is talking about because you can pick which projects you want to participate in. If you do not like something you do not have to help it. I am doing only 3 projects if their is no work from those 3 projects then i have set it to not go to other projects to get work, it is that simple.
