Some are not.
Today in Web Watch, we will focus on a few websites that definitely fall into the latter category: websites that ask you to do just one thing – push a button.

Web Watch fully supports not throwing computers and other electronics away to rot in a landfill, when they can be properly dismanteled and have parts reused or disposed of in an environmentally-safe manner.
That said, it appears that some companies take this recycling thing just a bit too far by requesting that we recycle EVERYTHING.
Including adult toys and novelties.
Today’s cameras are marvels at point-and-click technology, that it is practically impossible to take a bad photograph.
But people do take bad photos, all the time. In part, it’s because modern digital cameras offer so many options to the novice photographer that they get overwhelmed and make bad photographic decisions.

Albequerque, New Mexico’s Paul Patone knows his engines, and Paul knows his soda.
Paul would be the first one to say that soda, particularly Mountain Dew, is literally his driving force.
Why’s that? Because Paul has figured out how to CONVERT HIS CAR SO IT RUNS ON MOUNTAIN DEW INSTEAD OF GASOLINE.
TiVo: those who have never owned one will never understand. Those who have used a generic DVR think they understand, but they really don’t.
One benefit that many TiVo enthusiasts love to speak about is their ability to fast-forward through commercials. This has led to some advertisers trying to make their ads “TiVo-Friendly”, so that the core message of the spot will still be conveyed, even as the rest of the commercial goes by in a blur. As an example, you may have seen some movie ads that have the name of the movie displayed at the top of the screen for the duration of the commercial. TiVo users may not see the commercial content, but they know what the commercial was for.
Heck, even NBC CONDUCTED A STUDY THAT PROVED TIVO and DVR USERS DO PAY ATTENTION TO COMMERCIALS. In part, it’s because users who are fast-forwarding through the commercials end up watching the screen intently focused on when the commercial break stops, and if they happen to see an interesting commercial whiz by, they’ll rewind back to watch it.
