Rather pathetic of them to run this challenge

Maybe when we hit first 10 million downloads :)

International or local, anyone who is arriving to SFO and is not a Bay Area resident qualifies.

Thanks for the advice. I think, we'll do that too. Personally, I don't like when people come up to me in the street and demand attention, but maybe that's just me.
