0 Justice is the very fundamental element in any competition or challenge. It can not be ignored or forgot.
Unless the ADC II is significantly improved, our developers will think twice if it worths the efforts. At least, the judges, their qualifications, and the judging process should be published before the challenge starts. The reason there are a lot complains is because the community has had good faith in Google and has believed in its "Do no evil" slogan. Most developers went into to the challenge without knowing exactly who, how and when their months of efforts would be judged. How many time the developers have to "beg" to know more? How many time the information finally coming in contain some kind of mistakes/confusions? Maybe some "winners" want the community to ignore and forget the injustice in the ADC so they can really think them selfs as "winners" even though consciously they and everyone know what the truth is. What Google has done right is to make the mobile platform open. Microsoft made the PC OS open too but the history has told that it was for its own business not for innovation.
