>If chosen, you will not purchase a ticket of $1500 plus tax. That's some strange wording. Could you clarify what it means?
It's not from Google. This is only a hackathon to come up with ideas to enter in the #ifihadglass hackathon. There is no official affiliation. The website was not optimized for mobile; because of the time limitations (contest just announced, ending in a week) everything had to be put together quite quickly.
edit: Doesn't work in opera either, but it's not as bad.

Doesn't work properly in firefox, either. Not optimizing for mobile is fine. Yeah, it'd be nice, but it is an "extra" thing. having content cutting off in a major desktop browser on a large (1920x1200) screen? No excuse. edit: Doesn't work in opera either, but it's not as bad.
Extremely limited amount of time + demand for applicants, I think it's ok to overlook a few things here and there on the website :D

This site is so goddamn weird, it might as well have been a parody site, if I didn't know it was an unofficial hackathon.
The site is a parody of google's own "If I had glass" site that launched yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5249820
They are looking for applicants to work together in a hackathon type enviornment to come up with ideas for the actual "if I had glass" applications. Pretty smart IMO...
