Nouns to Verbs

Does anyone else turn nouns into verbs? I've noticed in my office people say things like "Yeah, I just FedEx'd the SIM cards to Waggner Edstrom" or "I'll have to Netflix Jackie Chan's last movie." I've also been asked "Hey, did you TiVo Will and Grace last week (even though I don't have TiVo)?"

It's strange how a company's/product's name suddenly turns into a verb.
