If you’re tech savvy and strapped for cash, then consider entering HPTippingPoint’s 5th annual Pwn2Own contest March 9-11 in Vancouver.

HPTippingPoint announced Wednesday that Google will give away $20,000 and a Google CR-49 Chrome OS netbook to anyone who can hack into its Chrome browser. An additional $105,000 will fund the rest of the cash awards, paying whoever can take down the latest version of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, Apple’s Safari and Mozilla’s Firefox.

HPTippingPoint will also reward anyone who can hack into a Blackberry Torch 9800 running Blackberry 6 OS, a Nexus S running Android and an iPhone 4 running iOS.
