Android 4.3 finally shows up on my Nexus 4. I am still waiting for Android 4.3 to show up on my Nexus 7. I could also download the factory images directly from Google.
Carl’s Jr. Strawberry Pop-Tarts Ice Cream Sandwich
I’ve heard about Carl’s Jr Strawberry Pop-Tarts Ice Cream Sandwich for quite some times and finally I got one.
This post is not brought to you by Carl’s Jr. because they do not pay me every time I mentioned it.
Does it have electrolyte, the one thing that plants crave?

It’s Saturday and I don’t feel like posting anything. So I’ve scheduled this post to be published sometimes in the evening.
Here’s an Office Cat.
Apple Developer Center is Mostly Up
It has been one week since Apple took down its Developer Center Website due to security intrusion. At this point most of Apple Developer Center is back online including iOS and Mac Dev Centers. Apple developers with expiring paid memberships are given some extra time to renew since Program Enrollment and Renewals section of the website is still not operational.
Apple iOS team is reportedly ready to distribute the next iOS 7 beta sometimes early next week.
Google Abruptly Ends Chromecast-Netflix Promo
UPDATE:
From Chromecast page at Google Play:
Please note that the Netflix promotional offer (which was available in limited supply) has now ended. Orders placed before 1PM PST on 7/25 will receive their promotion code once their order ships.
Does anyone remember what Google Play said before regarding the Netflix Promo? Did it say “limited”?
From Amazon.com:
Netflix Promotion No Longer Available
Please note that the Netflix promotional offer (which was available in limited supply) has now ended. Customers who ordered their Chromecast prior to 5:31 PM PST on July 24, 2013 will receive a Netflix gift code via email within 5 days of their product’s ship date.
Why do Amazon.com and Google have different cut-off time?
How many customers bought Chromecast because of the Netflix deal?
I certainly am one of them.
Another question regarding this shortlived Chromecast-Netflix promotion:
Is it Google who fronted all the bills for the promotion, Netflix or both?
My guess is that Google is the one paying Netflix for the Promotion and was surprised with the amount of orders. If only Google would release the sales figure of Chromecast from before and after the Netflix promo ended.

From Google Chromecast Offer page:
Please note that the Netflix promotional offer (which was available in limited supply) has now ended.
[Update 4:30 p.m. July 25: Google clarified that users who purchased Chromecast before the promotion ran out will still be able to redeem their Netflix promotion code for three free months of the video streaming service.]
Does that include all users who purchased Chromecast but were put on back-orders on Thursday July 24, 2013? Amazon was still taking orders on late Thursday and wouldn’t be shipping the unit to customers until later date.
Google Chromecast is now available for pre-order at Amazon.com
You can now pre-order Google Chromecast at Amazon.com. For those who have Amazon Prime would save on the shipping cost.
