During President Obama's "Twitter Town Hall" at the White House today, we learned he has more in common with George W. Bush than just the desire to prolong various wars in the Middle East. Because like Bush—who once demanded that "there's Internets" in every classroom—Obama also has a propensity for unnecessary pluralization.

The browser wars are heating up again! Are there any seven unsexier words in the English language? Probably not. In any case, they are, what with Google launching an aggressive new TV campaign tonight. It's all fiendishly calculated to tug at your heartstrings while diverting eyeballs and mouse-clicks towards their Chrome.

Things narcissists do to embarrass themselves on the internet: post embarrassing self-portraits on Facebook, beg websites to use cuter pictures of them, and edit their own Wikipedia pages.

Have you heard about this "Color" phone app? It's the hot new location-based photo-sharing social network thing that everyone's talking about but nobody really understands. Well, I've figured it out: It's the best way to stalk strangers who are richer, better-looking, and having more fun than you in real-time.

Thank ever-loving Christ: The official AP stylebook has dropped the hyphen from "email." The AP will no longer write like your computer science teacher in 1997. Now maybe they can stop capitalizing Internet and the Web.

Dissident members of the internet hacktivist group Anonymous, tired of what they call the mob's "unpatriotic" ways, have provided law enforcement with chat logs of the group's leadership planning crimes, as well as what they say are key members' identities. They also gave them to us.

"Friday" singer Rebecca Black finally broke her legendary silence during an interview with Andrea Channing on today's GMA. Uh, Ms. Channing? Do you really think repeating mean Internet comments to a 13-year-old's face is a productive argument against cyber bullying?

A new study suggests that 80 percent of children under the age of 5 use the internet, mostly as commenters on YouTube. [Mashable]

So, there are a new slew of services that promise to make the Internet an even more fraught place for the privacy-minded. From the Times:

The world is going cyber crazy! The CIA's website is currently down, cutting off CIA personnel from their email.

Ah, Chloe, such a good sport! In this neat (albiet extra-close up) short, the interviewers show Miss Sevigny the series of web videos that feature a man in drag claiming to be the actress. The good news? She laughed hysterically.

"Internet Enthusiast" John Allen talks about the unusual civility he encounters online... in 1993. Well, of course someone had to superimpose his naive speech over nasty youtube comments. Lesson learned. Never overestimate people's ability to be nice online.

The Oxford Dictionaries Online have added a "buttload" of new words, many of which are related to the internet and texting. Yes, "buttload" is one. So is "sexting." Now we're never going to get rid of that horrible word. There are more.

Hold your keyboards close, because you're about to travel to the 90s: a magical time in which websites like Gawker.TV didn't exist to distract you from your real work.

On last night's Real Time, Arianna Huffington dropped by via satellite for an interview with Bill Maher. Unsurprisingly, the Huffington Post's buyout by AOL dominated the conversation. Well, that and some playful misogyny. Oh, and a heavy Greek accent, obviously.

After 10 years in the position, Google CEO Eric Schmidt is poised to step down and transfer day-to-day responsibilities to co-founder Larry Page. Schmidt, known for his puzzling utterances, also enjoys the word "literally." A lot. A whole, whole lot.

After seeing his grandson's new haircut, this Russian man doesn't just type ROFL, he literally rolls on the floor laughing for a full two minutes. See Internet acronyms come to life!
