Online Porn: How pervasive is it?
TIME magazine once asked about how pervasive online porn was?
Other than “a lot”, it seems that we now have a more definitive answer to the question. According to a study by an online security firm, OVER ONE-THIRD OF THE INTERNET IS DEVOTED TO PORN.

Do you suffer from “Hourglass Syndrome“?
That’s what computer chip manufacturer Intel has called the stress that waiting on slow computers to do their work causes. Sure, it seems to be entirely a marketing gimmick, as Intel is focused on upselling to newer and faster computer chips – but there does appear to be some basis in fact as a general observation. Who could blame Intel for taking advantage of the situation for their own profit and gain?

Web Watch has always been a fan of the EAT THIS, NOT THAT series of books from Men’s Health, which boil down dieting and weight-loss to one simple task: you may not be exercising as much as you want to, and you may not be eating as healthy as you would like to — but making the right choices in eating can help offset the lack of exercise.
Remember, gaining and losing weight is paritally to do with the number and type of calories and fat that you take in. So change your meals, and even if you do nothing else – you should lose some weight simply by eating better.
The premise of their latest book, DRINK THIS, NOT THAT concentrates specifically on beverages, and what you should substitute when you go out for a drink. Not a lot has changed between the 2009 DRINKS YOU SHOULD DRINK, AND DRINKS THAT YOU SHOULDN’T and the 2010 LIST OF DRINK THIS, NOT THAT CONTENDERS, so let’s take a look at some of what’s listed in their HALL OF SHAME:

If you are a fan of 1960′s culture, such as what the TV show Mad Men tries to be, then you should be aware that the dapper 1960′s-era fashion is also making a bit of a comeback – a trend that has been directly attributed to the popularity of the fashion styles shown on that program:
And one item that has been consistently praised across the board is that the Mad Men fashion craze has brought back the Granny Panty.

Web Watch knows that if you really want to get ahead at the office, you have to apply yourself. This is simply common business sense that everyone in the corporate world should follow.
But some women (and some men, too – don’t think that they’re getting a free pass on this) believe that they can skate by in any situation on their looks alone.
Face it, toots – what may have worked in college at the sorority house when you tried to get the local computer nerd to do your CompSci homework for you simply by batting your eyelashes at him ain’t going to work in the real world.
That’s the gist of a study published in the JOURNAL OF SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY entitled Physical Attractiveness Biases in Ratings of Employment Suitability: Tracking Down the “Beauty is Beastly” Effect that says that contrary to popular belief, PRETTY PEOPLE DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT THEY WANT.

Web Watch knows our way around a kitchen, even if it is to help someone else prepare a meal. That’s because we know that people approach the kitchen as one of three groups:
So it should come as no surprise that a recent Harris Poll of over 2000 adults discovered that THREE IN TEN AMERICANS (about a third) LOVE TO COOK.
Here’s the breakdown of that stat: 79% of adults said they liked cooking, while only 30% said they loved cooking. 49% said that they only enjoy cooking when they have the time. 14% said they did not enjoy cooking at all, and 7% of survey respondents said that they did not cook at all.

Web Watch knows that making great food requires having great spices.
If you don’t have a PENZEY’S SPICES store near you, then maybe you have some other fresh spice retailer or farmer’s market that you could hit up for some glass jars of spice goodness.
And even if you end up buying your spices at the local supermarket, drug store’s food aisle, or giant-size Super Center Warehouse Emporium, the most important thing you can remember is to rotate your spices on a regular basis. Dry spices especially will lose their flavors anywhere from 6 months to a year after your purchase. You wouldn’t serve a beer after it’s “best by” date – you should apply the same philosophy to your spice cabinet and toss out anything that’s more than a year old.
Your taste buds will thank you.

Howie Mandel doesn’t shake hands.
Donald Trump tries not to shake hands.
World leaders are judged on who they shake hands with, and who shakes hands (or not) with them.
Yes, shaking hands is definitely an art, and the folks at CHEVROLET UK wanted to figure out exactly how to shake hands the right way, as a good solid handshake is often the key to closing a new car sale.
So they came up with THE GUIDE TO THE PERFECT HANDSHAKE, and even commissioned a university professor to come up with a mathematical equation to putting that perfect handshake together.

Survey says: Americans are becoming more rude
Mr Rude
Do you consider yourself to be a rude person?
Even if you don’t think it’s you that’s rude, it’s quite possible that other people think you are. And according to a NEW SURVEY ON AMERICAN MANNERS, American’s are becoming more and more rude when compared to before.
The survey asked the question, “Are Americans becoming kinder and gentler, or more rude and less civilized?”.
Only 14% selected the former, with 69% choosing the “rude” entry. When this poll was conducted a year ago, 75% said that Americans were becoming more rude.
