Some of the gists that we are fetching have anonymous owners, which in turn means we don't have the owner's image to load for the gist. Switch to use GithubApi.getGistsObservable() as your api which will return you an Observable instead of Call object. Make sure the app behaves as it is supposed to with the new method of fetching the data. Filter out the gists with no owners/images Optimize the adapter in charge of populating the list

You are given one method that does all the work to pull in "x" bytes of text at a time. This next method takes the output from that first method and you need to complete it so that it prints out each full line of data, up until the line break is reached.
