I accidentally entered my birth year as 79xx, instead of 19xx, and it blocked me from reading the article. So that's cool.

I entered 1/1/<year> instead of 01/01/<year> and it wouldn't enable the ENTER button. So that's the stupidest UI I've seen today.

I'm sorry, people from the future aren't cool enough to know about this phone.

01/01/0001 didn’t work either. 01/01/1900 did.
People not yet born are too young.
People not yet born should cause a form validation error instead of the site using future data that is obviously wrong.
