Fold it Like a Pro, Or Outsourcing Life's Problems

For those of you who have not played around with this, do. I think it is an exciting entry to a new way of solving things, somewhat aligned with the idea of the wisdom of crowds. Just think about this. There are millions of diseases that need cures and only so many researchers and money to go around. But suppose we narrow down the search path so that we are only looking at folding proteins as the cure for many diseases. Now let's computerize it and make a game out of it that ANYONE can play, and let's see if anyone out there comes up with a solution that we can use. That is the premise of FOLDIT. If this works, I wonder what other problems will be gamed for the masses to play and maybe solve? Talk about outsourcing! Anyway, I think it is a fantastic concept. I just wonder if someone does solve the problem, do they also get credit for it?
