"The linked blog post from Josh Davis says that they don't modify ones that already have an affiliate link so I guess it's not an issue here." - Oliver Ortega Chua

"What if the pin had your affiliate link in it and Pinterest/Skimlinks swapped it out? Wouldn't that (potentially) be stealing money from you?" - Oliver Ortega Chua

"You're welcome! That's probably right. That's the same year we met." - Oliver Ortega Chua

"One of the Mommy Betas met her husband this way. http://www.mommybeta.com/blogs... At a club several years ago I met a girl who bought me a drink. She was the first—and only—girl to ever buy me a drink. It was weird, too, because I was the first of my friends to talk to a girl that night. (That never happens. LOL) Anyway, we talked for a bit and then walked back to her group of friends. With me not being comfortable talking with a (somewhat large) group of people I've never met, I thanked her again for the drink and went back to my friends. I ran into Rowena (which was her name) and one of her (equally as cute...or was that the alcohol?) friends again as the club was closing and they both said hi/bye (before I had even noticed them). It still didn't occur to me to ask for her number. I hadn't even heard about Missed Connections until that Mommy Beta post. But, if I had known about it then, I would have used it! Anyway, I'm happily married now and, guess what? I met my wife on..." - Oliver Ortega Chua

"I also lost my existing topics after adding a couple. Now, it seems like I've lost my profile, too!" - Oliver Ortega Chua

"@DarkHorseComics Seven months later and still no Android app. What's the holdup?" - Oliver Ortega Chua

"Probably 25-50% of my stuff is "limited" (private)." - Oliver Ortega Chua

"I doubt the G2 will get an update. It looks like it's at EOL. T-Mobile is no longer selling it on their website. And, if you file a warranty claim on a G2, they give you the myTouch 4G as a replacement option. You guys are lucky. The G2 works well. (My wife had one.) I have a G2x and it reboots constantly. There's no update for that either. T-Mobile really screwed up the "G" phones. They were supposed to be the Google phones—maybe a level below the Nexus phones—but Google phones, nonetheless, with quicker updates." - Oliver Ortega Chua

"My point wasn't about watching Netflix on the G2x. (I'd rather watch movies on my 55-inch TV.) My point was that the phone is not getting much developer support." - Oliver Ortega Chua

"This is what I meant about the Gingerbread comment: (from http://digitaldumptruck.jotabo... ) "One welcome addition to the Android SDK in the Gingerbread (2.3) release is a standard API for accessing front-facing cameras on devices like the HTC EVO, Samsung Galaxy Tab, and now the new Google Nexus S. With Froyo, we developers had a set of incompatible, poorly documented vendor-specific APIs to contend with – some I still haven’t gotten to work properly." Gingerbread allows apps to use the front-facing camera without having to be hacked into using it, which is why the version of Qik is T-Mobile-specific." - Oliver Ortega Chua

"Yeah. Not gonna happen. I just had to file a warranty claim on my wife's G2. Since it's EOL now, they offered to replace it with a myTouch 4G. You can still get the G2 as a replacement, but I figured that I shouldn't have her stay on a phone that's no longer being supported, so we accepted the myTouch 4G." - Oliver Ortega Chua

"I agree with so many of the previous posts and am not going to rehash them here... One of the reasons why I went with the G2x was because it was supposed to be one of the flagship phones. But, even the G2 gets Netflix support, but not the G2x. I should've went with a Nexus S. They get all the new stuff: Netflix, Hulu, Skype video chat... Apps can't take advantage of the G2x's front-facing camera until it gets Gingerbread!" - Oliver Ortega Chua

"I'm on my second G2x. I was forced to replace the first one. All of a sudden one night, it kept rebooting. The startup T-Jingle was keeping my wife up and I was forced to pull the battery and keep if off until I could get it replaced by T-Mobile the next day. I had no problem convincing the T-Mo rep to replace it since, once we put the battery in, it kept on rebooting. We couldn't even get it to do a hard reset. Anyway, I'm about two weeks into the second one and it's already randomly rebooted on me several times. I hope this update comes soon and that it fixes it!" - Oliver Ortega Chua

"So, tell us a better way it can be done to maintain privacy. Only allow gift cards with no direct gifting? The gifter is not "out money." It's money they were willing to spend. (If they were only buying it to introduce the recipient to new music, then they should find out first if they're already into it...or lend them a CD.) The way I see it, it's like getting a birthday present (like a shirt or toy) that you already have. Instead of needing a gift receipt to return the item, you get the store credit directly. What's so wrong with that? Thank the gift giver and choose whether to tell them or not that you already have the item. It should be your choice, not Apple's." - Oliver Ortega Chua

"While I was reading your post I immediately thought of the way you described how Amazon does it for the Kindle (at the end of your post). That's exactly how it should be done!" - Oliver Ortega Chua

It took me about a week to get used to this method. I switched to it over five years ago when I bought my Z Roadster because it had really bad blind spots. Once you get used to it, it makes driving so much easier! (No more accidentally cutting people off or almost hitting them.) - Oliver Ortega Chua

I just noticed my typo. I meant Porsche 914. (NOT 944) Yes, I was #twd. :p - Oliver Ortega Chua

"Sorry, I don't have any codes right now, but there is a free weekend coming up next weekend. (not this weekend) Look for the McDonald's McCafé promo in the Spotlight channel for more info." - Oliver Ortega Chua
