Re:What If the Moon Orbited at the Same Height as the ISS? on Monday May 19, 2014 @02:45PM (#7769047)

Re:WWDC2014 on Thursday April 03, 2014 @01:20PM (#7524388)

What do you get for the ticket fee? Do they give away free things like Google I/O? Will you build lasting networks of app developers? I wouldn't blame anyone for going just for the experience but I probably can't afford it for that alone.
