Read about the winner of the DARPA Network Challenge
"About the DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Network Challenge
To mark the 40th anniversary of the Internet, DARPA has announced the DARPA Network Challenge, a competition that will explore the roles the Internet and social networking play in the timely communication, wide-area team-building, and urgent mobilization required to solve broad-scope, time-critical problems.
The challenge is to be the first to submit the locations of 10 moored, 8-foot, red, weather balloons at 10 fixed locations in the continental United States. The balloons will be in readily accessible locations and visible from nearby roads."
Resumindo: foram os geniais alunos do MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) que localizaram os 10 balões espalhados pelos States (vide mapa acima) e levaram o prêmio de 40 mil dólares do DARPA Network Challenge.
A comunidade dos Balões, capiteaneada pelo ícone americano Larry Moss do BalloonHQ, também participou ativamente e teve boa exposição na midia.
Ficaremos torcendo que ele consiga patrocínio para construir um gigantesco Flying Cupcake conforme divulgado anteriormente.
