Javascript that auto-fills captchas
Imagine how much power Google could harness if they just put a little JavaScript that did some parallelizable task on google.com. Since it's so many people's default page, at any given time there's probably millions of computers idling with it open.
If I were Google I would be sooo evil.

If they did that, Google wouldn't be Google anymore and probably everyone including me would be so pissed that they would use alternatives.
