Well, it is the idea of using things as they were not originally intended, that leads to innovations and breakthroughs, and new technology. LittleBigPlanet was taken places not intended, because of this. Post-It notes came about as a result of a failed glue being repositioned. Over and over again history is filled with this. The issue is WHY you are doing it, and to what end. Not understanding this will mean not understanding why people do hacking. It isn't just to get free IP, it is to come up with new stuff. Well, unless you want to merely be a corporate lackey that consumes whatever they belch out from the bowels of product development. As a person who does game design, I reposition products all the time.
Anyhow, I think a greater question is: to what end is this repositioning being done? I believe that is a more mature view of things, than the one of being a good trooper that merely follows marching orders and don't look at things differently. Conformity isn't always the right answer.
