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.

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.

A person who uses the internet deftly and creatively to answer questions that people ask them with superhuman speed and quality of result.
Person 1 - "What's the name of that song that Van Morrison sings from the 9 months sound track?"
Person 2 - "Let me look"
2 seconds pass and Person 1 receives an IM for the file transfer of the song.
Person 1 - "Dude, you are a total Internet Savant."
Person 2 - " /bow "

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.
