Google, like any other tech company, wants to shake this up a little. So, the search giant is now doing a random lottery system this year to see who gets to go to its annual development conference.
Over the last two years the pattern of sale of tickets for its I/O developer conference has been more or less constant. Back in 2012, all tickets were sold out in under 30 minutes. Last year they sold out in under 50 minutes.
It is rumoured this year that the new successor to Android KitKat will be revealed at the I/O 2014 conference and the company could reveal more information about the new Android Wear OS.
The Google Nexus 8 might also be revealed at the event, although we have to say it's unlikely given the focus on software at I/O.
Likewise, the Nexus 5's successor is not expected until the second half of the year, according to Google's Sundar Pichai.
Interested in attending? The requirements involved are only that you have a Google+ account and a card that won't reject the $900 registration fee. Of course, there's also the plane ticket to San Francisco.
