Has Apple jumped the shark? Is it time to worship a new fruit?

Donate your spare (Mac) cycles
12 02 2007
Similar to the Seti at home and protein folding projects, OpenMacGrid is asking you to share your idle CPU cycles for the advancement of science.
MacResearch is proud to announce a new project that draws upon the very best of Mac OS X and the Mac-using scientific community: OpenMacGrid. As the name suggests, OpenMacGrid is a computing grid built up entirely of Macs, and open to Mac-using scientists everywhere. OpenMacGrid is based on Apple’s Xgrid technology, which comes pre-installed with every copy of Mac OS X 10.4 (or later). The potential of Xgrid has always been obvious, but until now, it has never been fully realized. OpenMacGrid will change that, by bringing the spare cycles of Mac users, together with the computational requirements of Mac researchers
