Now get it out to the protesters in Iran and spread it in China for that matter.

Its funny, as soon as the car warranty scammers stopped calling last month, I now get robocalls for some cheapo health care ripoff. On my cell, on the do not call list. So it begins again.....

Parabolic flights are simulated zero G. If I jump out of a plane in a cardboard box, then I, too have the illusion of zero G. In relation to my confining cardboard walls, I think I am floating.

Well, they sure blew it, yesterday & today Bing was the talk of the office, but, meh, who in my office is going to remember Bing in the middle of next week when the media machine has moved on and there is work to get done? Well, rescinding the 3 app limit may be good marketing, but, boy does M$ know how to blow it sometimes.
