Found Family Philanderings
The kids at Found are up to no good this month. In their pursuit of the good life, two perennial Found Collaborators, Drew Baldwin and Brady Brim-DeForest, are out there hocking their wares – and they need your help.
GreenByte: The Global Computing Cloud
GreenByte is both a framework for the world’s first Global Computing Cloud, and a crowdsourced commodities market where data storage and processing power are traded among corporations and individuals alike, GreenByte will lower the barrier to entry for mass storage and processing services, and increase the per-kilowatt-hour efficiency of the networked world. Elegance, not power, will become the future of computing.
GreenByte is currently ranked #1 out of over 1,000 ideas submitted to Cisco’s iPrize competition.
