Anthrax Screen Saver Gets Results
from the that-was-fast dept
With all the talk of these screen saver distributed applications, there hasn’t been much in the way of really useful results. However, now folks who were looking for new drugs to fight anthrax say that the distributed screen saver system the used helped them find a bunch of possibilities very quickly. Of course, not everyone is happy, because many downloaded the screensaver thinking they were helping to fight cancer – and not anthrax. While the company that offered it clearly said they could change what they were working on, some users weren’t thrilled with the change.
