Remember how much fun Napster was, back in the day?

Yeah, well Napster is officially gone now.

What about LimeWire? KaZaa? Yeah, you shouldn’t be using those either.

Nope, whether you agree with the legalities (or lack thereof) of those sites, none of the old fun “file sharing” apps and websites are valid anymore, thanks to the movie and music industry.

And the proliferation of $0.99 songs and apps on the iTunes store. That kinda helped a little bit.

Of course, you always have that peer-to-peer sharing via BitTorrent, which is a legitimate way to legally share giant files amongst people who need them. Unfortunately, a few bad apples had to go and ruin BitTorrent for everyone else too, by using BT as a way to throw around pirated movies and music.

Why Popcorn Costs so Much at the Movies

If you love going to the movies as much as Web Watch does, you’d be seeing at least two movies a week, every week for a year.

Granted not every film you see is going to be good. And not all will be in genres that you always enjoy.

But you’ll definitely see all the great films, all the funny films, and all the films that people will be talking about the next day if you take the time to go to the theater regularly.

But not everyone can afford to spend $12 per movie ticket these days. Seeing 2 films a week for 52 weeks can add up to over $1200/year… and that’s not counting parking, popcorn, sodas, snacks you sneak into the theater, beer (purchased at the fancy theaters that have a liquor license)… and you can count on doubling that if you go with a date.

$2400 a year, just to sit in the cool air-conditioned comfort of a big screen theatrical event with someone special a few times a week, every week of the year.

Nose Tissue Box

If you’re one of those people who are having casual sex, one-night stands, “dating” in college, friends-with-benefits, or even suspect your long-term partner is having a torrid affair with a Vegas stripper that they met while attending a business conference, you may want to have a box of tissues nearby.

Why?

Because Russian researchers have discovered that people harboring a sexually-transmitted disease, smell different.

Korbel Champagne

Every year at Christmas time, it’s the same old thing being yelled out in kitchens across the country, “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid!”

No, it’s not from TBS’s 24 Hours of A Christmas Story marathon, but from people who don’t know how to properly open a bottle of champagne.

And that’s why Web Watch is happy to bring you these handy tips on the PROPER WAY TO OPEN A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE without worrying about damaging your home or injuring someone with a flying errant cork, courtesy of Korbel – makers of fine champagne and other beverages.

Because reading Web Watch with just one eye because you wanted to rush to get your drink on at Christmas or New Year’s Eve is just crazy.

Knock Out Panties

Angela Newman is a woman on a mission.

Much like the heralded Sara Blakely who created Spanx because she was looking for underwear and nylons that served a specific purpose (footless pantyhose, and super-supportive Spandex), Angela had an underwear problem that she wanted to solve.
