What’s That From?: The Ultimate Quiz Book of Contemporary Movie Lines
Do you consider yourself an expert on films and movies?
Web Watch has seen a ton of them over the years, but we admit that our memory banks have gotten a little fuzzier with some of the more obscure films that we’ve had to sit through.
On the other hand, we can recite lines from SORORITY BABES AT THE SLIMEBALL BOWL-A-RAMA and PSYCHOS IN LOVE.

Solar iPhone/Cell phone charger
It’s a fair question.
Web Watch often hears Luddites talk about how battery-operated devices still need to get their energy from somewhere, so we’re not actually saving energy by driving around in our hybrid cars or otherwise relying on battery packs to get us what we need.
Take the iPhone for instance. It needs energy to recharge its battery so that you can listen to tunes or play Angry Birds.

When it comes to Customer Service, what retail companies come to mind?
We’ve heard countless stories about companies like Costco taking back anything that they sell, no matter how long ago you purchased it… but while Costco is an awesome place to shop, the long lines and lack of salespeople on the shopping floor can turn some potential shoppers off, as getting out of there with a purchase can be a bit more difficult than it needs to be.
Web Watch enjoys the staff at the local Home Depot and Lowe’s, but there are times when both stores struggle to answer our seemingly simple questions.
We do’t ask for much – we just want each shopping experience to be superior to the last outing.

Upgrade Me: Our Amazing Journey to Human 2.0
Do you remember the classic TV show, MAN FROM ATLANTIS?
It featured an actor with webbed fingers and toes, able to swim deep into the ocean to solve crimes. Our recollection is that he had gills and could breath underwater like Aquaman, but there’s been a lot of alcohol in our system since then so we may be confusing two different characters.
But the webbed fingers and toes? Those were real.

The Erotic Engine: How Pornography has Powered Mass Communication, from Gutenberg to Google
In 2006, the US adult industry made over $13 billion in revenue.
In revenue, porn brings in more money than Microsoft, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, Apple, Netflix, and Earthlink combined.
Let’s say that last word again: combined.
Yes, online (and elsewhere) we can safely say, “porn is king”. Just like the porn industry is credited with the rise of VHS over Beta, the porn industry is also credited with pushing the technology envelope and make today’s Internet what it has become.

How to Make Money and Bigger Tips as a Waitress
How much do you tip your wait staff when you visit a bar or restaurant?
Some people go for the standard 20% off the final total of the bill — just take the total, move the decimal point, and multiply by 2… voila! No math required and you left a 20% tip.
Some people jump through complicated hoops to come up with a 15% or 18% tip.
We’ll be honest here – there have been times that Web Watch has left less than 15%… but trust us, the wait staff didn’t do their job that day by listening to what the customer wanted (they didn’t bring us the requested drink, the requested condiment on the side rather than on the sandwich, etc – and it wasn’t because the restaurant was busy that day… it was just bad service all the way around.)

Weird Las Vegas and Nevada:
Your Alternative Travel Guide to Sin City and the Silver State
Web Watch loves visiting Las Vegas.
Then again, we also agree with our friends who say that “a little Las Vegas goes a long way”. In other words, these people don’t necessarily enjoy the entire gambling, casino, nightlife, gambling aspect of Sin City.
Web Watch knows people that took a vacation out to Nevada and other points west, and their Las Vegas experience consisted solely of driving down the Las Vegas Strip. They didn’t stop, they didn’t browse. They had lunch as a nearby McDonald’s (not even at the In-n-Out!) before continuing on their merry way.
We don’t blame them. There are aspects of Las Vegas that we don’t appreciate either. But to each their own.
But then the Nevada Gaming Control Board decided to come out with their compilation of revenue numbers and financial analysis of the 2011 gambline business, and the numbers look a bit unusual to us here at Web Watch.

What You Need to Know About Your First Cruise – Cruise Like a Pro Your First Time
Have you ever taken a cruise before?
Well, they’re a lot of fun. And not filled with old people playing shuffleboard. Of course, it helps if you’re able to take a cruise with a large group of people, so you always have someone fun to hang out with besides your Significant Other.
But let’s keep in mind that a cruise ship is its own entity – especially when it gets out into International Waters, where almost anything can happen when you’re outside of a specific country’s jurisdiction.
So in order to keep order, cruise lines have tiny fine print on the back of their tickets (maybe not literally, but at least figuratively) that you have to sign away on when you agree to board the boat.

Village People – Can’t Stop the Music
Nobody can deny that disco music is, well, just plain fun.
It may have been the height of cheese back in the day when it was new, but there’s something special about hearing those synth riffs and rock flute over a hip-shaking beat that just makes you want to move your booty.
So here’s one person who mashed up today’s hits from Adele, Enrique Iglesias, David Guetta, Timbaland, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Taio Cruz, and others with a little bit of that 70′s disco beat that can just get your feet moving.
Hear the tunes after the break…

Cost of Living and Doctor’s Fees in 1848
Sometimes it’s not so much how you live as where you live that determines how much money you can really save over the course of a year.
And we can thank the COUNCIL FOR COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC RESEARCH (C2ER) for their annual COST OF LIVING report that lists the LEAST EXPENSIVE CITIES to live in, based on the monthly rent for a 2-bedroom apartment, monthly average house payment, a gallon of gas, a hamburger, and a 1/2-gallon of milk.

Innovate the Pixar Way:
Business Lessons from the World’s Most Creative Corporate Playground
Web Watch is always amazed at the creativity that the Internet has sparked.
Maybe that creativity and innovation has always been there, but the Internet has certainly made finding these things more exciting and accessible to all.
So when we stumbled upon this remix of audio clips from the FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR, we thought that we’d take a look to see what else POGOMIX has done.
And that’s when we discovered this treasure trove of audio remixes from various DISNEY and PIXAR films. Watch below, and enjoy…

66% of people surveyed said that they will respond to emails and text messages from work while on vacation.
Combine that with the 83% of diehard workaholics that say they check business email after-hours after they’ve left the office, and the 29% who still attend online meetings and/or conference calls while taking a day or two off, and what you have is a bunch of people who just can’t learn how to relax. Heck, Web Watch is guilty of this ourselves, having done everything from creating Powerpoint presentations while sitting in a Las Vegas casino hotel lobby to hosting a conference call while on the Mad Tea Party teacups at Walt Disney World.
We’re not proud of the latter, but one does what one has to do.
Not everybody can be “on” all the time; everyone is entitled to having some sort of downtime… and if your office can’t survive for an evening without your prying eyes micromanaging everything, then maybe you’re working for the wrong company.

The Stop Solution – Stop Yo-Yo Dieting, Snacking And Big Portions – Hypnosis
Who doesn’t like to have a snack or two between meals?
Web Watch has been known to grab a 3pm bowl of popcorn while at the office. Snickers and 5-Hour Energy have entire advertising campaigns around mid-day snacking.
