Am I correct in understanding that this Dancing Paper Clip is a feature of some
kind created by the Gates Group in La La Land Washington?  I would never even
consider buying a Microsoft product these days and only have the ones force on
my by HP who I bought this crap computer from. ... I did get an e-mail once
encouraging me to download something called Bonze Buddy... I couldn't believe
this was a real product.  Now you are telling me that this junk is part of
Office too? I saw a TV thing from the UWTV here in Seattle with Gates and
Matthew Turk who is doing motion detection. It was so funny... Gates was trying
to demo this now motion thing and he was in front of a computer screen grinning
like an idiot flapping his hands! Poor Matthew Turk had to literally calm him
down, telling him that the program had crashed already... :-) This was bizarre
at best...   :-) It makes you wonder what the psychological age is of some of
these guys at Microsoft.... :-) ASP Gates! An article was done on this Matthew
Turk in Red Herring and so he seems to vanished from Microsoft research now...
My daughter was working at the UW in communications and very selectively
programming what I would like.... :-) This was the best she ever selected! I was
laughing so hard...   I went looking for Turk and he doesn't seem to be at
Microsoft anymore... Hopefully Turk has found a much better and less annoying
jobs!  I hear Gates as Chief Architect is running every intelligent researcher
out the door.  I have this feeling that Gates is just acting out....
intentionally to get rid of the competing smart help! Oh well, it is
Microsoft...

http://research.microsoft.com/features/images.asp  There is a video you can
access here.... if you really want a laugh.  Let's see how long it is before MS
finds this link is still alive and well.... :-)

|ELKO, NEVADA -- Microsoft's Dancing Paper Clip turned
|violent last week and nearly killed a university student
|testing a new Windows-based  human-computer interface.  The
|victim, Trevor Erikkson, is expected to make a full
|recovery, although psychiatrists warn that the incident may
|scar him emotionally for life.  "You can bet this kid won't
|be using Windows or Office ever again," said one shrink.
