I think some of us are protesting a little too much. This may not have been a race to "take a cool MacBook Air prize". It seems to me that they hacker went for that system because he knew it would draw the most attention and get his name in the press. It's GREAT MARKETING. Apple uses their security as marketing all the time. This hacker is simply using that against them.
Oh, and the bragging points are incredible after a stunt like this. No matter how long it ACTUALLY took - or if the rules were relaxed. Most common people look at Macs as being impenetrable no matter what. He has proof that they aren't... and his name's on the documents.
