As is almost always the case with technology, porn leads the way.

It was the case with VHS vs Beta video tapes.  It’s been the case with online payments.  And it’s been the case with social media. 

Porn is a big money-making industry, and the Internet has just made it easy for Anyone to do it.  And we’re not just talking about those leaked celebrity sex tapes, either.

Sour candies are bad for your teeth

Who doesn’t like a little sour candy once in a while?

We know one person who absolutely hates and loves all types of sour candies:  your local dentist.  They love the candy because candy of all sorts eventually leads to cavities and more patients.  They hate the sour candies because of what they do to tooth enamel, simply as a matter of the high levels of acidity required to give you that mouth-puckering sour taste.

Web Watch has a friend who regularly jokes that he has a lack of adequate tooth enamel because of something his mother did (or didn’t do) while he was growing in the womb.  While there might be some truth to that, he should also take into account the types of candy that he chooses to eat.

How long can you hold it?

No, we’re not talking about how long can you go without peeing (although we have seen that there can be issues, such as the infamous Hold Your Wee for a Wii contest that resulted in a competitor’s death).

Quiz time: What do Nickleback, Justin Bieber, and Lady Gaga all have in common?

Nickleback: Here and Now
Nickleback: Here and Now

The question was asked: “What band can you really, REALLY not stand?”

You know, those artists who – at the very drop of the first note from any of the songs – just make you want to dive for the clicker/keyboard/volume control and just turn that crap off?

For instance, Web Watch can’t stand listening to the Rolling Stones.  Sure, we appreciate what they’ve done in the history of rock. We get the whole Mick Jagger, Keith Richards thing.  But after a year spent with a roommate who’s ONLY consideration for music was the Stones’ discography, we grew quickly tired of hearing All Stones, All The Time and since then have lost all interest in what the Stone have ever done.

What’s the most germ-covered surface in your every day life?

Germs are not for Sharing

Howie Mandel may have something with his “fist bump” mentality.  Touching other people can be freaky, especially if you don’t know where they (or their hands) have been.

Web Watch knows quite a few people who still refuse to wash their hands after using the restroom, sad but true.  And we certainly hate being introduced to someone immediately after they obviously return from the restroom, as that initial slightly damp didn’t-quite-finish-drying-my-hands handshake is always a bit icky.  We cringe now even thinking about it.

Want better sleep? Try NOT sleeping with someone

The Incredible New Cure for Insomnia and Chronic Sleep Problems

Have you been sleeping soundly at night?

Web Watch knows that some people can’t sleep due to work stress, poor health, bad pillow choices, or other reasons that could be reasonably solved through outside means (given enough time, of course – go with the concept here).

However, a study by a sleep specialist at the University of Surrey says that the real problem with people having trouble sleeping is not necessarily any of those outside influences

The free $500 Red Star WorldWear gift card – is it worth it?

So the other day, Web Watch was flipping through one of our myriad of magazine subscriptions when one of those annoying response card things fell into our lap.

But before we could toss it away as we do all the others, we noticed there was something different about it.  This one had gift card attached to it.

A $500 gift card.

“Whoa,” we said.  What did we do to deserve this, other than subscribe to a magazine or two?
