25k for a new revenue stream? I think not...

Why would I leave the 250 million in revenue my mashup could have had to M$ and BT ? Why shoudl I sign away all rights to my code just as the price of entering the contest? Why should I give them the germ of the idea so they can go develop it?

Yeah- for 25 grand, I'll just give away some brilliant new mashup. Golly, with that kind of money, I can pay for my freshman year.

If your crappy 2.0 mashup is worth 250 million then why would you bother entering it into a competition in the first place.

Another day another ******* "Microsoft are evil...Microsoft are evil...Microsoft are evil...Microsoft are evil...Microsoft are evil...Microsoft are evil...Microsoft are evil...Microsoft are evil...Microsoft are evil...Microsoft are evil..." rant.

How long before the Linux and Apple cultists wade in ?
