Elections and Social Media « LSS Infotech

One More Launch « LSS Infotech

https://lssinfotech.wordpress.com/2011/05/17/one-more-launch

Yesterday was the penultimate flight with one more scheduled later in the year. With no replacement for the shuttle, is space flight as we know it over? May 17, 2011.

I have not played it but I have heard that it is not bad (according to Paul Thurrott on Windows Weekly). The game can be downloaded here. May 2, 2011. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Do you Wear a Watch? « LSS Infotech

https://lssinfotech.wordpress.com/2011/05/12/do-you-wear-a-watch

Do you Wear a Watch? I wore a watch until I bought a cell phone. Why bother with something on my wrist when I was carrying a clock in my pocket. Most people no longer wear watches and are happy with just the cell phone to tell time. This watch receives information sent from your wireless device by Bluetooth. Would you want one?
