Newegg’s Post Price-Match Guarantee! Free $10 and gift!

Well here is the story of how I retrieved $10 back from one my purchases, as well as a free gift from Newegg! The free gift was simple, I was on live chat support and asked them to send me an email transcript of the chat. I was sent a personal email of what I requested, as well as an optional link to provide them feedback. The link also stated ‘Please reply if you’ve left feedback so we can thank you appropriately‘. I also received the $10 back, because I ordered an item, which was later featured in a daily promotion a few days later. I actually contacted them to request credit, or have my product returned, so I can purchase the new item with the discounted price. Newegg, unlike Circuit City, does not offer a price guarantee. Circuit city offers a 30day price lock guarantee. This is a quote from NewEgg’s website FAQ:

The price of an item I purchased has dropped prior to shipment. Is it possible to get a refund of the difference?

NewEgg.com does not offer any price guarantee, because industry prices change too often and too fast. If your order has not shipped, you can cancel the order online and re-order to take advantage of the new prices. All prices are as posted at the time of purchase.

That’s too bad. But if you contact them about it; they may honor the price guarantee! That’s what they did to me, they also gave me a free gift! Read on for my experience and pictures of the free gift!

For those that don’t yet know what DoFollow is, I will make it as simple for you as possible. DoFollow is the opposite of NoFollow! Get it? Maybe not. NoFollow is basically an attribute added to the anchor links of comments, default from most blogging systems, to prevent the links from being indexed from google. Basically, before, if a user left comments with a link back to their websites / blogs, Google and other search engines would not record that link, thus, would not have an increase in pagerank. Now your links are no longer NoFollow, but DoFollow! Commenting on this blog would now benefit your website even further, for search engine ranking and page rank improvements!

Bug Fixed! You are now allowed to post comments!

I have just recently discovered a bug, that whenever one attempts to leave a comment on the site, they are redirected to a blank page. http://ogry.net/wp-comments-post.php. The lenthy comments would not even be posted, or shown. After searching and asking questions all around the world wide web, I still haven’t found a solution to the problem, so I had to troubleshoot it myself. After almost an hour, I found the problem. The problem resides in the Adsense Revenue Sharing script, which have been fixed. Don’t worry, it has been fixed, not removed! You will still be able to earn the same revenue you were earning before!

Now you can transfer files from computer to computer with a regular 110v AC power cable! The process of this new technology is called ‘Concurrent Voltage Data Transfer’! The only requirements to have this feature working is that you have your computer plugged in to the electrical node on the same circuit breaker. Basically, if you have both computers plugged in in the same room, where one computer only has the power cord plugged in, you should be able to see the harddrive appear in the Windows Network. Or so people thinks.

Free Fan Adapter / Cable for XFX Geforce 8800GS Owners!

Are you an owner of a GeForce 8800GS from XFX? I certainly am. I ordered the videocard when I first bought this computer, and it works great. The only problem with the 8800GS is that the card itself is really loud and noisy. You can turn on your computer and hear the fan, and it really does get annoying. The fan is 100% on with no temperature control, and will never be any quieter without the fan controller. I read on some reviews on the fan, that people have called in and received an adaptor to reduce the sound of the fan. I’ve looked at places for where to find the fan adaptor, little did I know, you couldn’t buy it anywhere. You can get it for free.
