Well, it only hurts if you do it hard.  The easy way is to say "I don't 
know".  Also, this has nothing, per se, to do with Apple.  This is 
fairly common in NDAs, and makes some sense (there is a reason for 
non-disclosure, after all; and disclosing that there is an NDA is 
disclosure).

Also, keep in mind that there are other downsides to violating NDAs: 
you (the guy with the NDA) may not get the opportunity to sign another 
one (i.e., you don't get advance copies); and your actions make it 
tougher on the rest of us.

Cheers,

Justin
