Re:How we won an iPhone dev competition without any prior knowledge

The article or the dev camp? My (non-legal) opinion is that the article gets into NDA-land when they talk about available connection API's and the return values of the accelerometer. It is also my opinion that the dev camp probably had more significant breaches, but if you don't hear developers talking at dev camp, did they really talk? Finally, it's also my opinion that it is silly that we even have to question whether someone breached the SDK NDA. Come on Apple lawyers. Fix this already.

I think the article was missing the '...And What To Do About It' part. Although, it may be a system that is perceived to be broken but in reality serves its masters well. The startup gets their payday and the acquiring entity may make some additional revenue and most likely get some sort of tax write-off.
