The Jabong 'Attractive coupon' bug !

On lazy Saturday night @ approximately 9 :47pm on March 31 ... Kaboom ! 'get your coupon of 2000 on signing up' catches my eye on Jabong.com .
(Online shopping is becoming more of an addiction for me.)
Hence I couldn't help but get all bubbly about the offer and Sign up.
I received a mail.
Out from it crawled a 'BUG'





I signed up on 31st March 2012.
I receive my coupon via mail.
The text reads that my coupon is valid util 29th March 2012.
"Drum roll "
The date I signed up : 31st MARCH 2012 !!!!

Bug in a site where people are asked to take a project to test : sorry Sourceforge.net

A company expected its applicants to go to this particular site, so that they could download any project and submit its test report.
I tried to find one I could use.
But what I ended up doing is finding a bug in the site itself 'www.sourceforge.net'
It wasn't a rocket science procedure to catch this one .

Bug found : 14th March 2012 @ 8:48AM
Browser : Google Chrome 17.0.963.79 m

Steps to recreate :
1. Launch the Google Chrome browser
2. In the address bar enter 'www.sourceforge.net'
3. In the Search text entry area, enter iPhone and click on search
4. Page loaded showing search results for iPhone
5. From the menu below 'Refine your search' , Mouse over OS
6. From the Menu shown,mouse over Handheld/Embedded Operating Systems (300)
7. From this menu select 'Apple iPhone (297)'

Problem :
Message shown as 'No Result Found'
When Apple iPhone(297) is shown, any user is made to believe that 297 applications fall under this particular category.
Clicking on the option reveals a different story
I can't sit to count the number of respective applications that fall under this category, hence I can't draw a conclusion if the number shown next to 'Apple iPhone' is wrong or the applications that exist are not been shown to the user

Expected :
The number within ( ) should match with the applications shown

Check snapshots for reference

User made to believe 297 applications exist in the Apple iPhone category



User shown a 'No result found' status : More like 'Tie Tie Fish'
