The effort will speed up Zika research by years, said Alex Perryman, a research specialist at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. Perryman has just been named the co-principal investigator of the OpenZika project.Volunteers simply sign up, download an app, and let their computer or Android phone or tablet work on Zika research during what would otherwise be screensaver time. The project’s motto is, Let your computer daydream science.We’re hoping the public will see that they can join this search, said Joel Freundlich, of the med school’s Center for Emerging and Reemerging Pathogens, who will serve as a consultant for Rutgers’ portion of the project. (Other institutions in the United States as well as Brazil, the epicenter of the Zika problem, will help oversee the computer research as well.)

Traditional drug research begins with a laborious trial-and-error to first determine if any compounds – or fragments of compounds – might target any portion of the virus.Perryman likens it to trying to find the right key for the right lock, or a fragment of a key for a fragment of a lock. Once a compound is identified has having possibilities, researchers then move on to the next stage of fine-tuning and testing it.But it’s slow going, with a success rate of maybe 1 percent, said Perryman.Throw in a cloud-based network of computers across 80 countries conducting virtual experiments, however, and that pace picks up exponentially.Instead of having to wait a number of years, or even decades potentially, to test all these compounds in order to find a few that could form the basis of an antiviral drug to treat Zika, we will perform these initial tests in a matter of months, just by using idle computing power that would otherwise go to waste, he said.Once a computer analysis produces a promising compound, the information will be shared with any person or company interested in taking the research to the next stage, he said.

We want as many people as possible to try to optimize these compounds to get a drug quicker, he said. His previous work on a similar project against malaria accomplished in two years what it would’ve taken a typical university computer 100 years to complete.People or companies interested in donating their idle computer time are able to set preferences, by picking the research topic, setting up notifications, or putting limits on the time of use or percentage of capacity the project is allowed to use.Mark Wills, a Methodist minister and college administrator in Greeneville, Tennessee, said by email that he has the research app running on a total of seven devices at work, church, and home.In the two years he’s participated, those computers have worked the equivalent of nine years on cancer research. (The World Community Grid also has projects on AIDS, tuberculosis, and Ebola.)This program allows me to be a part of the academic and scientific communities without investing in a PhD, he wrote.Perryman said the crowd-computing effort has been running for 10 years without any security problems whatsoever.This fall, every student at the high school — all 2,200 of them at the largest high school in Gloucester County — will receive a laptop provided by the district as part of a new one-to-one initiative.

The laptops, which are set to be distributed starting July 26, will contain coursework as a supplement to textbooks. The long-awaited program is aimed at aiding students and teachers alike.It’s going to make our classrooms much more innovative, said Ann Moore, principal of Washington Township High School. Not that they haven’t always been, but this gives both students and the teachers a new set of tools for both teaching and learning.The laptops, purchased through Dell via state contracts, will be given to all of the school’s students and teachers free of charge as part of the initiative. The bulk of the computers had already been purchased as part of the district’s preparation for PARCC testing and existing classroom usage, according to district spokeswoman Jan Giel. The district was able to purchase the last round of laptops, which retail around $700 each, without any additional budgeting, instead allocating money leftover from curriculum adoption in the science department.We didn’t really need to come up with additional dollars. It was dollars already budgeted for the purpose of the science adoption that allowed us to purchase the (remaining) computers needed so we’re able to put a computer in the hands of every student, said Joseph Bollendorf, Superintendent of Washington Township schools.

The introduction of laptops has been a concept that Washington Township High School had looked into in the past but lacked funds to put forth a plan of action until just recently with this laptop initiative. Text books online are far more interactive and way more relatable to today’s kids who are growing up with computers. So it’s a matter of us utilizing that technology and using it as a teaching tool. It won’t change how we teach but it’s a tool, said Bollendorf.Washington Township is not the first school in the region to supply their students with laptops. West Deptford and Clayton High School have already done it, however Washington Township would be the largest to do so.With more than 2,200 students the high school had to compose a distribution schedule to assure all students received laptops before classes start. Distribution for the laptops, which is sorted by grade level in addition to alphabetically, is slated to begin July 26 and run until Aug. 11.

The school district has also set up an informational meeting on July 25 at 6 p.m. at the Investors Bank Performing Arts Center for students and parents to become more acquainted with the technology.More information about the one-to-one laptop initiative can be found on the Washington Township school district’s website, WTPS.org.BRIDGETON — A woman was attempting to sell her laptop online but instead ended up getting her computer and purse stolen when she went to meet the purported buyers, police said.The woman posted on social media that her 17-inch Acer laptop was for sale and someone contacted her interested in buying it. They decided to meet Wednesday around 4 p.m. in the area of Spruce Street and Fremont Avenue.Arriving with her boyfriend, two men approached their car. While one of the men looked over the laptop, the other pulled out a handgun and they robbed the woman of her laptop and her purse.Police described one of the suspects as a black male, approximately 20 years old, with short black hair and dark skin. He was wearing a black puffy jacket, bleach-washed jeans and red sneakers.

Police described the second suspect as a black male, approximately 20 years old, with lighter skin. He was wearing a red jacket and black jeans.Any one with information about the robbery is asked to contact Bridgeton Police Department by calling 856-451-0033 or by submitting information anonymously through the department’s Tip411 service. PISCATAWAY – A Rutgers graduate student didn’t just lose a piece of hardware when someone stole his laptop. He lost five years of research that he needs for his upcoming thesis defense.The chemistry Ph.D candidate posted a letter about his predicament on the Rutgers campus, which has gone viral on the website Reddit and on Facebook for its unusual offer to the thief. He said he’s willing to pay $1,000, and let the thief keep the laptop, if he can just have the research on his computer back.If you stole my laptop and you are now reading this letter, I would like to say that you can keep the computer and I would like to pay you for my data under D drive, the student wrote.The student didn’t respond to emails or phone calls earlier this week. A Rutgers University police official told MyCentralJersey.com: “We certainly understand the stress a Ph.D. is under, losing that type of work at such a critical juncture. However, posting a flier like that can be risky,” because the student could get ripped off again.

A Facebook user posted a photo of the flier online Tuesday in hopes of helping the student find his laptop, and over 30,000 people have shared the student’s desperate plea.The letter has even become a meme on the Rutgers University subreddit – or to translate roughly, an inside joke on a popular Internet community.Apple has been toying with LTE-enabled MacBooks for many years. It even created a prototype MacBook Pro with a SIM slot and cellular antenna way back in 2007.These days, doing so would be far neater, the latest Apple patent showing how the antenna could be hidden within the hinge mechanism, and an embedded virtual SIM could eliminate the physical one illustrated above. While the company has so far argued that using an iPhone’s WiFi hotspot or carrying an iPad provide plenty of options for mobile Internet use, the threat of competition from LTE-capable Windows laptops might just provide the nudge needed to change Apple’s mind … Back in October, Qualcomm announced that it would be supporting LTE-Advanced in a range of upcoming products – notable among them, Windows 10 laptops.

Qualcomm […] today announced that it is extending its LTE modem technology leadership to provide fast and reliable cellular connectivity in the next generation of Windows 10 notebooks […]LTE connectivity is being adopted in Windows 10 devices produced by numerous original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) around the world, including Dell, HP, Lenovo and Panasonic.Xiaomi has already launched a two-in-one tablet/laptop with built in LTE, albeit only for the Chinese market so far, and a wide range of other manufacturers are expected to do so this year. If Apple doesn’t do the same, it could end up as the only major brand to fail to provide a mobile data-ready laptop.We asked you last Spring if you’d like an LTE-enabled MacBook Pro, and a third of you said not only that you’d want it, but that you’d be prepared to pay a premium to get it. If there were no additional cost, almost two-thirds of you wanted it.With Windows machines now turning the idea into reality, we thought it was time to update things and find out first whether you think Apple is finally likely to do it, and second how many of you would now like the option.Deciding between desktop Macs and laptop MacBooks can be challenging — you typically get more computer for your money with desktops, but notebooks aren’t anchored down to one location. Managing two Macs is getting easier with features like automatic software updates and iCloud Drive syncing Desktop and Documents folders across machines, but using one Mac is often easier to manage and more affordable.

My own setup has shifted over the years from laptop only to both desktop and laptop to desktop only. I’ve found that I’m most productive and comfortable when using a desktop with a large display and a dedicated mouse and keyboard, but I also benefit from being able to take my work out of the office.Given the current Mac lineup and my own needs, I’m settling on a MacBook Pro with external display, mouse, and keyboard to balance portability and ergonomics. What’s your ideal setup? Desktops, laptops, or both? The goal is to have a single Mac that can go out of the office with me, but easily serve as my desktop Mac during work hours.I can definitely work from laptops — I worked for months on the 12-inch Retina MacBook and I’ve worked exclusively from the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar since its release — but I always feel tremendously more comfortable working from a desktop setup.My main machine before the new MacBook Pro last fall was my 2012 Mac mini. It was a small workhorse that got me in the habit of working from a desk using a dedicated mouse and keyboard and a large display.
