Success at Worlds Largest Student Run Hackathon and Shenanigans

[phflack]

friend twin brothers did a hackathon
they made neat stuff and came in first place for best security app and second place for Comcast shenanigans (using their data/APIs and so on)

they connect the internet to phones that cant go on the internet... mostly with magic



this is duck approved and you should look at it and be all ooh that's neat

um ok
what was the app
what are these shenanigans
i want details

[phflack]

Comcast has a new API for location based news like muggings and stuff
so their group reads Comcast's info and sends it to phones via sms for crime stuff near them so you can be a good doer and run at the area
or flee the scene because you're causing the crime, whichever
the world is made up of bad people stopping crime and good people causing crime and nobody inbetween trying to run away, right?
