Hello, Nobel Committee?
James Fallows (April 29, 2008) - The bright side #3: Reinforcements in the frog wars
We all pick our causes. During my brief and enjoyable stint at Microsoft long ago, I worked on various big-think projects. But my claim to have changed the world may rest on my all-out war against “Clippy,” the moronic “help” feature that popped up to say “Hey, you seem to be writing a letter!” each time you typed “Dear …” I don’t want to overstate things, but before I arrived, Word came with Clippy turned on by default. Now it’s turned off by default. Judge for yourself.
