Ask HN: can I borrow (or buy?) your Google Glass for a pitch?
16 points by Schuback 4764 days ago
Hey guys,

I'm attending an entrepreneurship program here in the Valley called Draper University (http://draperuniversity.com/) and we have a pitch day June 6th.

While here I've developed software to run on Google Glass as my business that I'd like to pitch. However, I do not own a pair myself. I would like to borrow (or buy) your pair so that I can port my existing code in time for my pitch day.

My background: electrical and computer engineering, Android dev, web dev. Favorite project: Unix-like OS in C. Aged 21. Canadian if it matters.

What can I offer you: I'd love to help hack on your side project(s) for a few days! Open to other creative ideas.

Contact: iiJDSii@gmail.com

Thanks

Isn't lending/selling a Glass against it's terms of use?

If I'd pay $1k for something I no longer need and someone want to buy it - how much TOS can hold me from selling it?

TOS issuer might not be happy about it, but besides that TOS is as important to me as a softness of a paper it's printed on.

loaning (which i think has been retracted?) and selling are against the ToS. Friendly borrowing might not be, as Scoble has shown
I guess in the end it should not cost more than an Ipad: http://buy-google-glass.com
Surely Tim Draper can hook you up. And shouldn't you have asked sooner?
