Well that's a good start

www.canyoufindit.co.uk uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is only valid for canyoufindit.co.uk

One minor problem with "Can you f it" initiative...
They also have an invalid building design!

They're presumably trying to recruit folk who'll be able to break the few 
remaining bits of the internet security systems that they haven't got round to 
cracking yet. Perhaps you just passed the first test? ;)

Alternatively, you could always go and help the IETF to defeat GCHQ and NSA 
nefariousness:

Well the good news is you can!

The price point was set by the hardware spec. Sapphire glass and 128GB
storage isn't cheap. For a global audience, having a tie-in with a
carrier is massively unpopular. Which carrier? Which territories?

I agree, $700 is a lot for untested software, I would happily install
alongside Android, even at beta test stage, but I will not pay a months
rent for the privalige! I hope the project lives on but feel that a major
error of judgment was made setting the price point, and perhaps a tie in
with manufacturer / service provider was a better route to take.
I don't know anyone who buys their handset, they are bundled up with their

We don't support installing alongside other OSs, but other hackers
might have software which enables dual-boot.

Ubuntu Touch reaches a "1.0" release at the same time as 13.10
releases in October. We make images for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, LG
Nexus 4, Asus Nexus 7 and Samsung Nexus 10. Community hackers have
ported it to other devices.

More info at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch

I can show you a photo of a Nexus 4 running Ubuntu Touch... :)

There's a bunch of developer devices. I saw one in San Francisco after
a Tizen conference about 18 months ago. Looks like Samsung are the
only ones at the moment who are planning on shipping any Tizen
devices.

It's certainly interesting times with Sailfish, FirefoxOS, Tizen and
of course Ubuntu Touch looking to pick up some of the mobile market.

However, there was that Samsung galaxy s4 pictured running Tizen a few days
ago.

Oh, sorry, I answered "what Linux system they might be working with?"

Tizen has been under development by Intel and others for a while now.
I don't think any production phones have actually shipped yet, only
developer versions.
