Net usage, toast portraits, role models, dash, tech talk

• 68% of United Statesians use the Internet (from this set of Internet stats), and you might be one of them! (I'm pretty confident in the "you're using the Internet" part, not so much the "you're a United States citizen".)

• British teen girls came up with this insightful list of the ten most inspiring celebrities. Let's let them decide the Nobel Prize winners.
• The new Mercedes S-Class has a digital dashboard. Included is picture-in-picture that constantly plays "Cannonball Run".
• 2005's tech exec foot-in-mouth awards. Who would have thought a tech executive would speak inelegantly?
