Texting while driving is dangerous. So is this…

Do you know what the texting-while-driving laws are where you live?

What about in states that you don’t live in, but travel to frequently?

Right – so you may know what you can or can’t do in the car in your own home state, but since these rules are so random, it’s hard to know what you should be aware of when you’re just passing through.

The 10 Best Places in the World to Access the Internet

Web Watch knows a guy who spends his life traveling around the world – not for work, but just for fun. Because he’s young, and he can do it.

Sure, he has a job, but his job didn’t allow him to travel. Didn’t require him to ever leave his office. So he decided to go on the road on his own, taking his office with him.

Study: Facebook reduces well-being and satisfaction with life

How long have you been playing Candy Crush Saga?

Better question: have you been paying money to advance, or have you achieved as much as you have via free play?

Since Web Watch has told others about the joy (and frustration) that CANDY CRUSH can bring, we’ve been hearing stories from friends about them paying $1 after $1 in order to advance through.  We have texts cursing us for sucking joy out of their lives, as our friends have become addicted to moving from level to level with this BEJEWELED clone.

And all we can say is, we couldn’t be happier.

Why?  Because at least our friends are NO LONGER OBSESSED WITH FACEBOOK.

The Five Most Visited Websites

How many websites do you visit in a day?  Week?  Month?

We know, just from you reading this today, that you visit at least one website that we know about.  And chances are, you got here after visiting a search engine or a link from another site.

And it’s really hard to guess what the LEAST VISITED WEBSITE IN THE WORLD is, because there are any number of purchased domains that some bloke is using for their own personal storage space rather than serving a public service.  For every website that you may have heard of, there are likely thousands that are only known about by the person who purchased the domain name.

Which country has the fastest Internet?

How fast is your Internet connection?

Do you think it’s fast, or just fast enough?

Remember back in the day (and we’re only talking about maybe 10 years ago for many) when you were still using dial-up modems to connect to the Internet at 56k speeds?  Heck – Web Watch still has a 2400 baud modem lying around here somewhere.  Yeah, that day you upgraded to that 56k rocket was awesome, wasn’t it?

How many apps does a person need on their smartphone?

Show of hands – how many of you own a smartphone (Apple’s iPhone, Google’s Android primarily)?

That’s right – we know that while the vast majority of you did raise your hand proudly waving your mini-computer around, there are still a fairly substanial number of you who still proudly sport a flip phone or other non-smartphone around in your pocket.

And that’s okay.  For you, you can skip over this post knowing that you’ve made the right decision.

How’s that?

It’s because we’re about to tell you how smartphone users are really no different from flipphone users, when it comes right down to it.

Top Grossing Apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android (June 2013)

You own an iPhone, iPad, or Android device, right?

Web Watch doesn’t even know why we’re asking — we’re fairly certain that you’re reading this on your cellphone right now.

So how many different apps have you downloaded?  A dozen?  Fifty?  And even if the vast majority of them are free… they were really more of a “freemium” download.  A freemium is where they give you a little taste of the game for free, but if you really want to enjoy it, you’re going to need to pony up some cash to unlock certain features.
