I was flipping through the pages of Fast Company magazine when I found an article about World Community Grid. WCG is a computing grid that "takes on projects that benefit humanity." It uses your computer to process information in bite size quantities, and then links it up to the central server. This way your computer is working on a segment of a research project that is connected to over 500,000 other computers.

If you're concerned about WCG stealing your processing power, have no fear. On the default setting your computer only computes when it is idle, and uses up to 60% of your processing power. However for the benevolent, you can set it to use up to 100% of your processing power and set it to compute all the time. 

Once your sign up you can decide what study you want to be a part of. Want to conquer Cancer? How about cure Muscular Dystrophy? Choose a study and watch your progress bar tick up to 100%, all while getting points online, and climbing the rankings. Best of all, they support teams. Can an AbleGamers team climb the rankings? I'm putting my money on yes. 

So what are you waiting for? Register an account, choose your study, and start processing!!!
