Not really a lot you can criticise our wisecrack about here...so without getting to misty eyed, thus is what technology and science are for!
Amazon, Facebook and Google have all pitched in to help Cancer Research UK run a weekend hackathon, to see how mobile apps might help cure cancer through gamification of cell analysis. The event runs over this weekend, and will see 40 of Silicon Roundabout's finest holed up in Google's East London Campus for a couple of days …
That"s funny, Amazon, Facebook and Google are three corporate tumors attempting to cure cancer.
There is no such a cure for cancer, fix the environment and you halt process. Back in 72, Nixon declared war on cancer, 40 years later corporate trolls are preaching the same gospel and hiding the truth.
Cancer Research UK are and endless source of headline grabbing garbage. I wouldn't trust them to research anything but then they only want me to trust them with my money so they can pay themselves (£130 million this year) and buy more advertising.
More of a publicity stunt for all concerned than anything useful.
