Everyone jokes about ubiquitious holiday food, from the green bean casserole to the fruitcake.
But no other holiday food has garnered as much interest as the TURDUCKEN, an epicurean concoction of a deboned chicken stuffed inside of a deboned duck, stuffed inside a turkey.
Now that Thanksgiving is over and the shopping has begun, it’s time for us to concentrate on that next favorite holiday tradition: the SECRET SANTA GIFT EXCHANGE.
And organizing it can always be such a hassle. You have to get everyone in a room together to draw names out of a hat, and in today’s workplace environment with people working from home or in satellite offices across the country, doing the Secret Santa selections this way is just old-fashioned.
A few years ago, Web Watch posted a piece on using a MUSIC ROYALTY CALCULATOR TO DETERMINE ALBUM PROFITS, and we thought that it was a good time to revisit that topic.
Why?
Because many things have changed in the music industry since we we wrote that original piece. That music royalty calculator link is still valid, but we found another one that you might want to look at as well.

A friend of Web Watch purchased the new Sprint Android phone, the Samsung Moment, when it was released the other day, and they were having a difficult time getting the phone to connect to their Windows-based computer via the supplied USB connector.
After spending countless hours on the phone with Sprint customer service and technical support (including an unusual interchange with not one – but two – Chinese-speaking technical support folks), debugging and reformatting multiple microSD cards, and downloading endless versions of device drivers and software from the Microsoft and Samsung websites, we finally stumbled upon the solution – which Web Watch will share with you, if only to help ease the burder that others may find if they too run across this extremely seemingly undocumented feature.
