So, here comes "The Test":
- Launch your web browser while sitting in the office at your headquarters
- Type your competitor's URL in the address field and press 'Enter!'
- Observe the result
- An appropriate website (duh!)
- An old version of their website announcing version 1.1 of their product back in 1998
- An unrelated website (possibly p0rn :-))
- Nothing, the connection fails or times out
If, while doing it from the office, you see anything from the range of #2-#4, congratulations: you compete with dumbasses!
He-he :-)

why would it be different from the office and home? What does this have to say about the competitors website?
Ah, Young Skywalker, you have not learned the dark ways of evil security vendors :-)
Some choose to redirect their web traffic to the places mentioned in the blog post IF and ONLY IF you come from an IP address belonging to their competitors...
Or you work for the dumbass, who decided to block requests to competitors to keep you from looking for jobs at the competition, or sending secrets to the enemy.
