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.
+1 creating a game that involves collaborating with strangers and creating music could be tedious. This overcomes that handicap pretty well. I love the concept, great work!
Thanks for the link. Makes me wonder, if life did come from space then we will have to start exploring space more seriously. The possibility of a aliens existing somewhere else cannot be ignored any longer.
Once we were trying to install a payment gateway from a bank on TC. The damn thing just wont work. Till we realized that I had installed TC as a root. I then re-installed TC as the user and everything just worked. This was using ssh on a rackspace server. Maybe someone should note this in one of these articles.
In India we don't have the concept of software patents, unless some sort of hardware is involved. I am guessing that this is way better than the system where all business methods are patentable. This kills innovation. We should all just petition for change.
