If you’re like Web Watch, you’re constantly using your computer mouse to move that pointer around the screen all day long. (Actually, if you were like Web Watch, you’d long ago learned those useful keyboard shortcuts to keep you from having to use the mouse at all…but that’s another story for another day.)

Still, have you ever wondered HOW MANY MILES YOUR MOUSE MOVES OVER THE COURSE OF A DAY? Of course you have. One study even determined that the average computer mouse moves up to a mile in a single week.

Emergency Portable Cell Phone Recharger

It has happened to Web Watch, and we’re sure it’s happened to you: you’re hanging out with your friends all weekend and you forget to plug your phone in to recharge, and now you’re stuck in a situation where your phone is on it’s last battery display bar and you still have 5 hours to go before you can get to your charger.

Sure, you can use a Duracell emergency recharger that you happened to have stashed in your glove box — but how many of us have bothered to pick one of these up the last time we were out running errands?

The New Fashion Trend: Bedazzling Your Hoo-Ha (aka “Vajazzle” and “Vagacial”)

Temporary Body Jewelry Tattoos for Vajazzling

Web Watch thinks that some things are perfectly fine the way they are, but apparently some women think that some body parts are always in need of a little, well, something “extra”.

And we’re not talking about a simple bikini wax or the more complicated and deadly Brazilian wax (yes, a Brazilian wax can kill you, remember?).

If you’re one of those women who think that their special place needs a little special something, then Web Watch would like to point you in the proper direction to get that taken care of.

First, let us introduce you to THE ART OF VAJAZZLING (eg VAJAZZLING: from the root word “vajazzle”, meaning “to bedazzle your vag”. As used in a sentence – “I can’t believe you got vajazzled!”)

Survey says that it’s okay to send texts while in the bathroom

Web Watch agrees with our readers that talking on the phone (whether it be via Bluetooth, hand-held cell, or corded landline) is completely inappropriate when done in the bathroom — public or private.

Nobody wants to hear your conversations while in the stall, and nobody at the other end of the conversation wants to hear the bodily functions of either yourself or your neighbors.

This is why Web Watch is thrilled that chip maker Intel decided to research and publish A STUDY ABOUT PROPER TEXTING ETIQUETTE.

Betcha can’t name the Most Played Video Game of All Time

Can you name the MOST PLAYED VIDEO GAME OF ALL TIME?

It’s not MS PAC MAN.

It’s not TETRIS.

It’s not even Microsoft Windows’ SOLITAIRE card game (although that one should qualify as the most played video game in the office environment).

Pop Quiz: Can you name the #1 selling paper clip brand?

Can you name the #1 selling brand of paper clips?

It’s a simple question. It should be obvious.

For every product in the world, there is a single top selling brand. Some items are easy to name as the top selling brand in their categories: Budweiser (or Bud Light if you need to be a stickler). Coca-Cola (ditto for Diet Coke, again depending on your point of view). Bic pens are ubiqitious, but at least you know who Bic is and that they are a pen manufacturer.

But the paper clip is even more common.

And chances are you still haven’t thought of even one manufacturer of paper clips, let alone a brand name, by the time you’ve read this far.

You’re kidding – How can the top gadget of this decade NOT be TiVo?

1 Comment on You’re kidding – How can the top gadget of this decade NOT be TiVo?

So PASTE Magazine has come out with their list of the TOP 20 GADGETS OF THE PAST DECADE (2000-2009), and while Web Watch certainly agrees with the sentiment that such a list entails, we seriously question the validity of any such survey that places TiVo anywhere lower than #1.
