So they put out a call for all the people in the world to crunch on their Android. Now they say use your tablets. Then why in the heck don't they put out enough work on WCG that you can get a badge? Seems more like a public relations thing rather than a serious project. IMHO

Well, maybe they've released all the work for Android rather than Windows. :)

Possible, but their FightAids - Vina app goes to both Android and Windows...

I get no Ebola (OET) units when I have only Ebola selected. When I have both OET and UGM selected, I get a a few OET for every 100 UGM. It's going to be tough to get 5000 hours, much less a 2 year badge 8-}
