Microsoft's attempt to dominate the Internet by integrating this poor excuse of a browser with every Windows OS, although this was deemed illegal, they made some bullshit up about it being a core part of Windows. So in the end, they integrated this POS into Windows.
IE is buggy, has many security holes, is slow, supports ActiveX so websites can install their XXX dialers on our systems, and finally, it's not standards compliant, so 80%+ web pages have sloppy HTML which doesn't work with standards compliant browsers, only IE. How convenient.

Get the Internet Explorermug. What you call a website when you want to "rebrand" it and are too lazy to think of a better name, next thing you know it gets sold off to CNET.
Thankfully no one has ever done this because no such website exists.

About 60 seconds after he first opened it up on his new computer, Jimmy was finished using Internet Explorer - for 2-4 years.

Get the internet explorermug. "Internet Casualty" is a named applied to those who spend their nights on the internet, and then wander around in a sleep deprived haze during the day. This means that they dont have enough energy to do anything productive, so they fill that void with more internet.

Get the Internet Casualtymug. when something in a game (or online in general) goes untouched or is forgotten about for an extended period of time, basically collecting dust as a physical item would.
an instance of this actually being thought of by game developers is in Pokémon Platinum, when your gym badges go ignored, they become dirty and dusty.

Aw fuck, I forgot I left this car in a random-ass garage in GTA. It just sat here for months and collected internet dust.

Get the internet dustmug. The guy who feels the need to be a "troll" online. Found on Forums and social networks like FB or MYB. A clear indication they are being That Internet Guy, is when he posts on a girls' status that is 7 or 8 years younger then him, and make idle threats to seem bigger and have balls.
Did you see that guys' post on that 18 year old girl's status?
Yeah, he is totally being That Internet Guy.
