A big yahoo bug is you cannot register an account without giving them a mobile phone number.

I don't own a mobile phone with a phone number.

Very strange way to register people.

Not long ago, there was a submission about a bug reporter didn't get any kind of reward (except a coupon) for reporting a bug for Yahoo!

Kudos to Yahoo! for listening to community's feedback.

The rewards bullet point says you can still get a shirt if you want. Hope is not lost!

Someone you should tell them about the mother of all security bugs: NSA has full access to their datacenters.

They might want to fix that one first, before caring about the tiny little ones. It doesn't look like they are in a hurry to fix that one yet, though:
