Congrats to Upshot, but they totally didn't follow the official rules of the Hackathon. 

This was in the official rules:

"The application you or your team submits must: 
... 
• have been developed solely as part of this Hackathon"

Here is "Upshot" being presented well before the Hackathon was even announced:

Quite a farce.

Salesforce.com loves developers. And it’s amazing to see how quickly our developer community builds next-generation apps on the Salesforce Platform. So we thought we’d cook up a little surprise. OK, a huge surprise. How about the world’s first hackathon with a single $1 million prize?

It’s on. Come to Dreamforce. Build a next-generation mobile app, and change the world. And win a million bucks. Really. What better way to say thank you to our developers than to put on the biggest on-site hackathon in history. Today, we are thrilled to launch the Salesforce $1 Million Hackathon!
