Enjoy all the hockey coverage you want over your New Year’s weekend. The channels shown below are available to all DISH Network customers with an applicable antenna pointed to the correct orbital location! NHL Network is The Home of Hockey. It's the only network 100% dedicated to total hockey coverage via live games, nightly highlights shows, up-to-the-minute hockey news, and exclusive programming and special events you can't see anywhere else.   The Android army of smartphones in the world keeps growing, with the latest number now over 700,000 activations per day according to Andy Rubin, Goolge's head of Android. That's an increase from 550k per day in July, 500k per day in June, and 400k per day in May. Basically, it's a slow and steady growth that's perfectly believable given Android's increase in marketshare this year.
Plus, Andy Rubin announced that over the Christmas weekend, the search giant saw 3.7 million Android activations. The festive statistic was posted on Google+ by Rubin: “There were 3.7M Android activations on 12/24 and 12/25. Congrats team-Android!”  The Mifflin County School District conducted a test of their SKYLERT Service this morning. Through this service you can receive automated phone calls, emails, and text messages for the type of alert notifications you have selected. The school district will be sending Emergency Alert Messages only. Their goal is to use this as a resource in notifying parents\guardians when there is a school closing, early dismissal, or an emergency alert.
For more information on this service check out www.mcsdk12.org and click on the link for SKYLERT.  Want to have a little fun sending some personalized calls from Santa. Check out www.sendacallfromsanta.com from Google.
After starting the webapp you can leave your child's name, gender, state, what type of gift the child really wants, and your own name and relationship to the child. There are also joke options should you want Santa to call your coworkers or friends.  Your kids, nieces and nephews can call Santa and leave a message for him. The answer? Google Voice of course.
Google has a Google Voice number for Santa (855-34-SANTA) where you can leave the big fella a voicemail (obviously he’s too busy to pick up his Android smartphone). Callers will be entertained by Santa's personal Google Voice greeting.  DISH Network is giving back during the 25 Days of DISHmas sweepstakes!
