The weekend is over, but you can make the best of your Monday by starting off informed or entertained — whichever one you’re going for. We’ve collected some of the top stories from Saturday and Sunday so you can meet that goal.

Yesterday, the biggest intelligence leak of all time occurred via WikiLeaks, an organization that simply couldn’t have existed before the Internet. Politics and political figures also came up in other stories over the weekend; the U.S. is enacting a law to make sure electronics companies aren’t buying “conflict minerals,” and the British Monarchy joined Flickr.

As always, we have a number of resources to help you get the most for your time and effort, plus a bunch of fun stuff that will make you smile. Did you know you can play Snake while watching a YouTube video?

Thanks for reading!
