Sweet! About time they showed us some love. :o My favorite paragraph "...The total average floating point operations per second of all BONIC projects in late February 2013 was 8,723 TeraFLOPS. How fast is that? Summed up, that would make the global BONIC cluster the world's 4th fastest supercomputer (http://www.top500.org/list/2012/11). Now, that's fast. Of course, its throughput is far slower than any "real" supercomputer, but it gives you an idea of just how powerful distributed computing really is." :cool:

Great article. Glad to see distributed computing/citizen science getting some press. Someone recently reached out to me from PCWorld for some information on citizen science so I believe they may have an article in the works as well. I'll make sure to post it when it comes online.
