Haven't you always wanted to reinvent TV? LG is seeking developers and big thinkers to push smart TV innovation further through a webOS hackathon. Collaborate with their engineers to build groundbreaking apps and experiences.

The top teams will present concepts at LG's renowned Innovation Festival in SF (10/25) and compete for rewards and pitch directly to LG's CEO.

Spots are limited - apply by 9/24.

Yes, I always wanted to do work for free for a mega corporation, paid with a bottom-of-the-barrel TV instead of money. Literally my childhood dream coming true, finally.

It's especially funny seeing this on HN, where the immediate knee-jerk reaction to most smart TV related posts is "I want to buy a dumb-TV instead of this bug-infested garbage spyware"...

Clarification: developers who rise to the top will have an opportunity to chart a business path forward with the CEO of LG NA, Thomas Yoon. It's more than a contest for TVs.

Let me guess: the submissions of the ones not rising to the top will still become the property of LG, with 0 compensation regardless of future implementation, right? It's hard to find information about this on the website, the Terms & Conditions says only important things like you can't smoke and get high, nothing about such unimportant stuff.
