The Nexus 5 has the opportunity to pull a lot of disenchanted iPhone users to Android. What would it take for you to make the switch?

That kid Shariq Hashme from Maryland killed the game all hackathon season. Couldn't be more impressed with Maryland's headfirst dive into the forefront of the student hacker scene. They were sending buses all across the country ev

I think we'll see a trend of VCs creating HN clones. Wouldn't be surprised if they are already working on them.

opened the comments just to see if pg had chimed in on this. glad you came in to clarify. thank you. this is somewhat offensive as a hacker -- moving fast allows me to iterate, and several iterations is wayyyy better at trying to build some

So generic. I want to hear more about the epic movement that the people sitting across from you built in months.

I don't think any of the results really does it justice at all. If I didn't know what a hackathon was, I'd still have no idea after reading most of these.

Did my best to explain what a hackathon is in layman's terms

This is awesome.

This guy demoed the hack at hackNY. Really well done. I think he's also the same guy who hacked vine too.

As one of the original directors of MHacks, I can't wait to see what they pull off this time. Really looks like they are going big this weekend.

Not going to lie, I've been to almost two dozen hackathons, and this right here is where they are headed. Greg Gopman and co. are doing it right.

Does this make it the largest hackathon ever?

This is sick

Is this a joke?

can't wait to do this!

Couldn't agree with this more. So many developers I know let sunk costs influence their actions and it stifles their ability to innovate.

Why don't they just put the email instead of just using (at)?

Holy shit. This just changed the game. Venmo best be scared bc bitcoin is perfect for early p2p adoption. Much lower barrier than between consumers and businesses.

This is really awesome. A great way to propel an already thriving community around a product. Balanced is killing it!

I feel like this could end up creating, in effect, a Pandora for clothing and physical products. With the data they are collecting alomg with previous purchasing behaviors this could really give a product like The Fancy a run for its money.
