Yeah, that demo issue came up yesterday, so I filed my own rdar://16013973 and as you know, it always helps to add duplicates! I marked mine as an issue with Security and Always. I suggested only showing the hints on the actual device and doing a secondary broadcast without the hint on secondary devices, especially simulators and AirPlay similar to how the old DVD anti-copy-protection thing worked. -- Gary L.
