I think you'd probably have to find someone to work with to help you
out with that one, as free laptops are rather outside the budget!

I'm interested in attending the hack day, but what is the deal with
regards to hardware. What will we be hacking on? I ask as I don't
own a laptop myself at the moment, and don't fancy lugging my
desktop to London! Is the idea to work in teams with people who
have got the hardware?
Cheers, Chris

I'd love to see some cool stuff hacked with as/apollo/flex/etc.
a sneaking suspicion tells me that we have all the components to
step away from the constrictions of the browser (specifically,
dealing with IE) and instead run platforms which are just that
little bit easier....
i was initially thinking a flickr app which used voice activated
commands to browse tags etc... you'd have a big screen which you
spoke to, and from v.a. > an apollo app > flickr api interaction....
shame i can't find good quality voice activation. :)

Sounds like a great event. Can any language/technology be used?
RoR, Java, C#?
Is all the hacking done on the weekend? Or do people do prep
before hand?
When do we find out if we have been accept/invited?
