∞ iTunes Affiliate Now Supports Android Tracking for Apple Music
We are excited to announce that affiliate tracking for Apple Music is now working on Android. This means content for Apple Music is now commissionable and will track on all Android supported devices and also pay at the same rates as tracking on iOS.
It's not quite clear what this is for. If you read the instructions on how to use it, it's for affiliate tracking of traffic to the Apple Music Android app.

Nintendo introducing their new console coming March 2017. Their pitch video to consumers is perfect. Hope they can pitch it to the game developers too.
Soylent Halting Bar Sales and Issuing Refunds
I almost missed this email from Soylent, thought was promotional:
It has recently come to our attention that a small number of our customers have experienced gastrointestinal issues after consuming Soylent Bars. As a precautionary measure, we are halting all Soylent Bar purchases and shipments and are advising our customers to discard any remaining bars in their possession.
We take these complaints extremely seriously as we have no greater priority than the quality and safety of our products. After hearing from our customers, we immediately began investigating the cause of the issue and whether it was linked to a problem with the Bars. So far we have not yet identified one and this issue does not appear to affect our other drinks and powder.
Though our investigation into this matter continues, we have decided to err on the side of caution and take this preventative step.
As a customer who has purchased Soylent bar in the past, you may submit a refund request here.
You place an enormous amount of trust in us each and every time you place an order. We in turn owe it to you to prioritize your health and well-being above all else. Until we are absolutely certain our products are safe, they will not be shipped.
We are deeply sorry if you or any other customer had any negative experiences after eating a Soylent Bar.
As you know, transparency has always been a core value at Soylent. Now is no different. We look forward to sharing further insights into this issue as our review progresses and we learn more. If you have any questions, comments, or have had your own negative experience, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@soylent.com.
We thank you for your understanding and support.
I ordered 24 bars weeks ago, luckily only two or three bars have been eaten.

VR Planet Defense is One Year Old
Today marks the one year anniversary of VR Planet Defense! I'm really glad that it has acquired many great reviews over this year. Here are some example from App Store.
From TexanReviewrr:
Probably the best VR game out there
It has amazing Graffics and awesome gameplay even my grandpa plays this game!
From Corndogl337:
Great little game. And works awesome for cardboard
This is a must download for people just getting into VR and Google cardboard. It's simple, fun, intuitive. Most other 3rd party VR apps are not as put together.
From Schickmeister:
Intuitive game play prefect for the medium, cute graphics and music. This could be a VR classic.
You can download the game either on App Store or Play Store, and enjoy some short and simple VR experience :)
