Google's Launches 2nd Android Developer Contest 26

coffeeisclassy writes "Google's second Android Developer Contest (ADC2) has started, despite some confusion around how to submit applications. The prizes are different from the first ADC, with each category having prizes of 100k, 50k, and 25k and an overall best of 150k,50k and 25k, meaning the best Android application from ADC2 is eligible for ~250k. The rules seem to allow any application never published before August 1st to compete, and the contest is open through the end of August (so break out your keyboards!). The top prizes are certainly less than that of first ADC, but with the prizes broken down by category, Google may be hoping to inspire some love for less popular categories."

As he came in from the cold and took off his coat, I went up to greet him. He responded warmly, and volunteered, "Hey, I'm sorry I haven't said more about Palestine right now, but we are in a tough primary race. I'm hoping when things calm down I can be more up front." He referred to my activism, including columns I was contributing to the The Chicago Tribune critical of Israeli and US policy, "Keep up the good work!"

I disagree. And here's a perfect example why.

There exists a Japanese anime cartoon known as Gundam.

There exists a small group of Wikipedia editors that, to put it mildly, are fans of this cartoon.

There exists thousands of articles dealing with a freaking cartoon about some fucking robots. These articles include such encyclopedic knowledge such as:

The armament, weight and first deployment (in the Cosmic Era timeline, of course)of the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam mobility suit.

Intricate schematics, "production" information, specifications of the Musai-Class Light Cruiser.

And this sort of shit exists for pretty much every damn thing the animators of this cartoon have ever even thought of drawing. Down with the anime crazies. I'd love to see the flamewar that would errupt on the Articles for Deletion page of Wikipedia if their precious spaceships and robots were nominated.
