Recently we delivered the final prize Hack The Ride to Miquel Llobet and David Farrús, members of the WMB team who were the first prize winners of Hack The Ride with a proposal based on Google Glass that integrated data from the bike while you drive and you can request more or less information from the controls of the bike.
It was the first of three prizes to be awarded at the end of 24 hours of Hack The Ride, a hackathon we organised for/with BMW Motorrad and the global BMW Innovation Group (Innovation Works). The idea was to create new applications for mobile phones and similar devices to improve motorcycle driving in town. It can be understood as the application concept “Connected Vehicle” to mnotorcycles. The “Connected Vehicle” was also one of the important themes of the Mobile World Congress this year. We took the Mobile World Center at Plaza Catalunya during the 22nd and 23rd of February. The other two winners were: Paul Günther of the Gumball team won the third prize.

The list, released in early January by the trade publication for nonprofits, includes 15 gifts, pledges or bequests totaling a whopping $5.1 billion, more than any year since the $8 billion total in 2008.
If you take away the biggest gift, the list isn't quite as impressive, says Stacy Palmer, the editor of The Chronicle of Philanthropy. Some of the other gifts near the top of the list were announced in the past month. Another big supporter of brain research is Microsoft co-founder and billionaire investor Paul Allen.

The two minglers have to position themselves just right and stand face-to-face for a moment as they align their flash-drive-like gizmos. Like the World Economic Forum in Davos, the conference brings together leaders from a variety of fields to brainstorm about political, cultural and economic advances.
