Many years ago, Web Watch thought that we knew we had enough money if other people considered us to be “peculiar”.
As we got older, we determined that being “peculiar” wasn’t good enough — we knew that we had enough money if other people considered us to be “eccentric” instead.
The question that Web Watch still has to answer is how to we get enough money to even be thought of as “odd”, since we’re nowhere close to having “odd” enough money.

The New Rules for Moving In With Your Man
Quick, raise your hand if you’re currently living with your partner (girlfriend, boyfriend, significant other, etc).
Yeah, we thought so. That’s a whole bunch of you out there, living in sin.
And while you may get yelled at by your parents or your clergy for shacking up with someone, maybe there’s some good reason for you to live together before marriage:

By now, you probably have heard about CARRIER IQ, that software that many cell phone manufacturers and service providers had installed on all sorts of cellphones in order to track how well their networks were performing.
The issue, if you didn’t know, is that CARRIER IQ wasn’t a very well-designed application and was recording a lot of each user’s phone actions without that person’s knowledge. Now, Congress has gotten involved and it’s turned into a big ugly mess.

The “Office Party”.
It’s the perfect time to get drunk and tell your boss what you really think of them, right?
Wrong.
Web Watch used to work for a company that was rather liberal with their alcohol at events. After a while, we had to wonder what one needed to do to get the Big Boss pissed off enough to fire someone for what they did at the office holiday party. It became a fascinating experiment.
Web Watch recalls one party many years ago that we attended where the Big Boss ended up carrying one of the part-time employees out to a cab because she was passed out drunk. This didn’t seem to have any affect on her career at that company, as she’s still employed there.

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.
Everybody swears.
Everybody may not use the same expletives when doing so, but everyone swears in some manner or other.
And a recent study published in the American Journal of Pain confirms exactly why people swear.

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.
