Can Google's 'Solve For X' Save the World?

IBTimes writes,

Google launched a homepage for a new science and technology conference it will be hosting, Solve For X. The conference was announced in a 53-second video that reveals very few details about how the conference will operate.Some of the text revealed from the CSS workaround also emphasizes that the presentations should not be focused on raising funds or lecturing the crowd: "This is not an academic talk. This is a problem-oriented and people-oriented talk. Think to yourself--whose lives will be positively and radically transformed by our moonshot proposal?" (Google, Software, Web)
