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.

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.

Sending a text message can be tough on the thumbs.
Web Watch, however, envisions a time in the future when the full-size computer keyboards that we know today are piled in the junkpile next to the typewriter, as more and more people grow up being comfortable typing in such a small space.
But how efficient can a peanut-sized keyboard be when you’re actually trying to type something meaningful?
The World’s Fastest Texter competition is what it’s all about.

Nielsen recently did a survey that revealed who the “Extreme Techies” are.
The study was conducted for the Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing, and as such meant that the focus of the study was going to be all about online video – who watches it, and how.

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.
