Federal agencies face White House orders to become more transparent.

Apple stores sell per square foot what the White House is worth. That's nearly double its closest competitor.

Nearly 8,000 petitions with 600,000 signatures were created in the first week, forcing the administration to raise the bar for which petitions will be reviewed.

NBC reports that a Facebook user posted three threatening messages on the White House page warning of future 9/11-style terror attacks.

Groklaw: "The White House is asking us to give them ideas on what is blocking innovation in America. I thought I'd give them an honest answer.

Here it is: Current intellectual property laws are blocking innovation."

the White House plans to submit a bill next year that would require all online services that enable communications to be technically equipped to comply with a wiretap order.

That would include providers of encrypted e-mail, such as BlackBerry, networking sites like Facebook and direct communication services like Skype.

Groklaw: "I go to the url for the White House meeting going on right now, and nothing I own will do the live streaming.

I can get the text running at the bottom, but no video. Can you guys figure out if it is possible? If it's just me, that's one thing.

But if it is everyone who isn't using Microsoft products, that is something else."
