personally I don't think that it was an ex-employee was a problem. But I was at the meetup group in SF on Oct 8 where they demo'd upshot. From what I can gather, the only thing that was developed for the hackathon was making the web app, which already existed, work slightly better in a mobile browser. In the meetup I remember hearing that they had been working on upshot for something like 8 months at that point. So yeah, that's pretty jacked up.
