We've all had that problem: after a late night of partying, you wake up, go through your belongings (wallet: check, iPod: check, unused condoms that have been sitting in the back pocket of your jeans for the last 3 months: check) when you suddenly realize...your cellphone isn't anywhere. And you don't have a land line to call it from, because who has one of those anymore? Luckily, the Internet ...

Some times it pays off to spend entire days searching for live streams of cute animals. Like today, when we stumbled upon a whole feed of owlets hatching. Awww! We were alerted to The Owl Box moments ago, though the San Marco, CA bird, Molly has been documented on video for months now. She apparently laid her eggs Feb. 13th and they are hatching right this very moment! Look, quick! ...

The reincarnated Keyboard Cat has hit the internet, but so far we've seen its talents go unused. So a cat can play the piano (and drums, and dance), what's the big deal?

Two years ago, we introduced our favorite animals as they were meant to be seen: in 24-hour live-streams. Modern technology has increased exponentially since then, and now we have entire Ustream channels dedicated to the puppy and kitty version of The Truman Show, except really cute and not at all creepy/exploitative . (Did we predict the Shiba Inu cam-craze? Perhaps!) Here are our new favorite ...

Full disclosure: By the time The Huffington Post declared Josh Ruben to have the best Philip Seymour Hoffman impression ever, we'd been following his videos for over a month. As a staff director and actor at College Humor, Ruben stands out for being able to give dead-on interpretations of some of our favorite movie characters of all time (seriously, check out his Alan Rickman from "Die Hard" if ...

Today's biggest internet video comes from the hit "Love Marriage," an Indian pop song about not wanting an arranged marriage, from viral music sensation Wilbur Sargunaraj. But is it for real, or is Sargunaraj just a figment of some clever marketer's imagination? ...

Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain's recent appearance on Nick Jr.'s 'Yo Gabba Gabba!' got us thinking: What is it about this kids' show that brings the hip celebrities? Elijah Wood, Jack Black, The Shins: the show is basically a 20-something's wet dream. But that's not what marked 'Yo Gabba Gabba!' on the internet cultural map.
