Thats the thing that sucks about such events; $900 is very expensive.

If anyone wants to sponsor a fellow HNer, I'll give you a bunch of digital Karma :)

So much for a coding challenge to get tickets. "Registration will be first-come, first-served so make sure you're online promptly at 7AM PDT on March 27."

Cheaper than WWDC and it's likely you'll get a bunch of free hardware.

Doesn't the free phones pay for it? I'd suppose those early limited edition devices are worth more than the ticket.

I'm trying out the demo chrome experiment on the page. It seems there's a bug that the "Keep trying" pop up just won't go away after the tutorial. Or is it just me? I'm using Chrome 17.0.963.65.

Double the price of last year.

The freebies last year (Galaxy Tab 10.1, Chromebook, verizon hotspot) more than outweighed the ticket price and airfare. Depending on which session you went to (which meant more freebies - arduino kits, more phones, etc), you could make a solid profit off a trip to I/O.

I'm curious at $900 of just how much they plan to give out this time.

Ball has to make it through the output on the right to finish! Need to win the tutorial to complete!
