Apparently, for hundreds of years we’ve been handling toilet paper the incorrect way – with our hands. This is something those folks in India and other countries that don’t have sewage systems that can handle paper have known for years.
But that’s okay, since there is a solution: The COMFORT WIPE.
Now that a new iPhone is available, isn’t it time for you to go out and grab some nice shiny new MP3 files to use on the new iPhone? You don’t want to use your old dingy files, you prefer that “new MP3” smell when the songs come fresh out of the store.
But the problem is that now you have a huge pile of MP3 files that you never listen to anymore, just gathering dust. You’ve paid good money for them over at the iTunes or Amazon stores, and you’re not going to just throw them away.
What do you do?

The best thing about checking into some of the newer, higher-end hotels is that they really are promoting their “high-thread count linens” or “superior mattresses” (which some hotels will even sell to you at the end of your stay, if you absolutely loved your mattress so much that you just had to take it home with you).
The Radisson chain, for example, is promoting that they have the SLEEPNUMBER bed. The last time I stayed at a Radisson, I didn’t find the SleepNumber Bed that remarkable, especially since the maid had lodged the controller between the bedframe and the headboard amongst all the evil hotel room dustbunnies that never seem to get vacuumed up.
Ew.
Perhaps if I had tried the bed at the SleepNumber store at the mall, like everyone else does, I would have had a better night’s sleep.

A report came out this week about Twitter, regarding how users new to Twitter use the service, a STATE OF THE TWITTERSPHERE, if you will.
In short, the conclusion is that the vast majority of Twitter accounts are inactive at best. Some users sign in and tweet just once, resulting in an “ORPHAN TWEET“. If you happen to run across one yourself, feel free to retweet it with the #orphantweet hashtag.
The bigger question, however, is how prevelant are these orphan tweets? Consider this: as in real-life, so goes Twitter: the top 10% of the most active Twitter users account for over 90% of the overall Twitter traffic.

THE TAKING OF PELHAM 1 2 3 is based on the book of the same name that also spawned a film from the mid 70’s starring Walter Matthau and a television movie starring Edward James Olmos. So at least you know that the source material is pretty solid going into this.
Earlier this week in Web Watch, we mentioned how 15,000 Google searches used the same amount of energy as it took to create a single cheeseburger. (And this even ties in with yesterday’s Best Fast-Food Burger post – welcome to Burger Week on Web Watch!)
Some people asked Web Watch where we got that burger energy information from, so we thought we’d look into it. CAN CREATING A CHEESEBURGER REALLY USE UP THAT MUCH ENERGY? Yes, it can.

Google, being a company based on computers and data centers and other electronic stuff, is often asked about how energy-efficient they are.
After all, Google’s mantra is “Don’t Be Evil”.
So Google engineers did some number crunching and DETERMINED HOW MUCH ENERGY A GOOGLE SEARCH TAKES as related to the amount of CO2 that is generated.
