Awesome. I am moving my stuff out of Google Reader. Thanks for the link.

Well, what I meant is - this is not like I was sitting and hacking a network or something. This qualifies as a hack because I had to overcome a significant hurdle.

If you continue to imagine that hacks can be performed only on computers and networks. Then this may not make sense as a hack. Hacks can be social and/or real-world hacks too.

1. The biggest hurdle is to get a visa to get to the US. Yes it is a big deal these days. Especially for people going from India. In the article if you noticed, I could not get a visa. SO I had to get everything done remotely, which was a challenge. 2. As a startup it is not possible to get a booth. There are costs involved and money is better spent elsewhere. Instead of getting a booth, I convinced another booth owner to let me use his booth the showcase our product.

Social Engineering - wow. Should have used that in the title of the blog post.

Sorry, CES took up all the bandwidth. Got some time now. Will be making a new video of the OS. Will post it on HN soon.

Thank you. Glad you liked the video.

Thank you. CES was a dream come true!

Thank you for pointing out the hard-work and persistence part. I had to do day and nighters to pull this one.

IMHO, this is a hack. May not be in the truest sense of the word. Your comment is well-taken.

Well not as far as I can tell. We thought it was quiet original.

Love it this is simple!

Seems like you are right. Maybe submitting this was not such a great idea after all. Well anyways, I had a good laugh watching that one.

And pretty cool that he has chosen an already existing game here. Pretty smooth!

Awesome tutorial. This is the first time I have seen a tutorial that actually goes end-to-end.
