OK! cool! but whom do I report a bug to?

The list of states in the form doesn't change even after changing the country. And there's no "other" option too in the state field. I ended up selecting a US state even though my country is different.

Haha, I wonder how many notebooks will be listed as going to Alabama (first alphabetically)?

"The Pilot program is open to individuals, businesses, schools, non-profits and developers based in the United States."

Sure. But they why let the user select a country? Right now, the form lets you enter "123 Maple St, New York City, New York, Russia".

What?

Sure, my point is the bug is that the country field is selectable, not that it requires a state.

It's a poor man's CAPTCHA.

If it was meant to be CAPTCHA there's no need to make it selectable.

I applied, but 140 characters doesn't give me much room to gush about why I'm an awesome candidate for their pilot program. :-)

I'm curious what they're looking for in the 140 character box. I put that as I'm in the middle of the pacific ocean, I often have high latency issues (which is a concern on a web focused OS). I would enjoy seeing some stats on who they chose at the end of all of this.

We should do a retrospective to see who here gets one.

I thought about putting news.yc in my little comment box but I decided against it.

Did anyone get a confirmation that their application had been submitted
