I took the office pictures that somehow found their way into the article.
I thought LimeWire's efforts to build a music store were probably some of the less technically interesting things that went on there, and there's tons of interesting technical fodder, such as the P2P LimeWire update mechanism where the lead dev would sign an update, update his local LimeWire, join the network, and the update would spread virally. (and how they very nearly lost control of the network due to it) Or that LimeWire was ostensibly decentralized, but ran a set of centralized UDP host caches so that you could actually _find_ other peers when you joined the network.
