Hi - we have a consumer financial app on both the appstore and chrome store - how do we get in touch about potentially using your api?

its more than that. I remember being bullied and called little jew by kids, by teachers, by school principal, by janitors, by strangers on the subway when I was 7 or 8 because I have soft Rs and curly hair, and I am not Jewish.

don't know much about how Iranian dates work so I peeked inside the code to see the actual conversion.

Line 482 - $g_days_in_month = array(31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31);

Umm, what about leap years, you know the ones that have 29 days in February?

If he is so unhappy he should sell it on ebay, they go more than double the asking price at the moment.

I am absolutely happy with mine, simply blown away not just by the quality of the phone (its outstanding) but by how nice the stock android really is. No more bloatware and "enhanced" UI for me

I have a Samsung Galaxy 1 at the moment and after 2 and 1/2 years of poking usb thingy into the receiving port it came undone. Not completely, but it takes a fair amount of jiggling and negotiations to get the juice flowing.

Wireless charging makes a lot of sense, I am going to buy one as soon as it becomes available

In my case lack of LTE is not a big concern, I am more concerned with lack of SD slot for example, or battery not being user serviceable.

LTE or not LTE, everywhere I need to I have a Wi-Fi readily available and Nexus 4 supports phone function over the wi-fi as well, so lack of it is not really important

I am also looking at possibly getting Galaxy S3, it is priced at $50 on black friday but I will have to sign another 2 year contract with Sprint and endure another bout of Sprint useless bloatware being installed by night, endless attempts to charge me for something very basic like voice mail transcribtion, etc.

been there done that. Had stock options not from one, not two, but three startups in dot coms. Worked 60 hrs week - to the bone. Came through with nothing, actually lost money because in one of the startup I had to buy out my options and it came with a large tax bill for some reason

this. who do I call when I have issue with Google overcharges or whatever? last time we had these issue we were told, quote "we (google) are an internet company and as such we don't have customer service".

That's not true. I bought a brand new Schwinn at Walmart for $140 after taxes. Its not a very good bike but its good for what I bought it for, i.e. trips to coffee shop without worrying for it to be stolen. My other bike is a $2.5k Specialized Tarmac which I don't use casually

this. I love florida and usually spend a month or two in the winter there. I am not impressed with the people, coming back to boston is a breath of a fresh air. I can move my startup there full time but I don't primarily because of how out of place I feel most of the time (and its too darn hot in the summer)

Awesome. Is this still in flash or html5?

Not only redditors cause problems, -- we refused to sell to anyone with aol.com account for a year or so because the never ending support nightmare that was originating from these customers. It wasn't worth it. We also raised prices (twice) to change demographics, I still get couple of emails a day asking for coupons. disgusting.

love it, love it, love it. Please don't go out of business :) Related to going out of business - I'd like to start paying something monthly to support, please add that option

as someone who ran a restaurant a night club -- everything above is correct.
