I can't believe I've only just noticed this!
I clicked 'Search for files and folders' on computer, and it came up with a search window, complete with a little character with a speech bubble. Upon seeing the cheery little character I though 'Oh God'.
Then I thought - Sirius Cybernetics Corporation!!
Just how Douglas Adams predicted this sort of thing decades before it happened is beyond me.

Oh not, not Clippit... I did like him, when I only met him once in a blue moon on my old school's computers, but since he's got himself on my desktop...

Its strange. Microsoft bowed to years of pressure and removed 'That damn paper clip thing' from MS office. They then immediatley added it to windows XP, when all you want to do is perfor a damn search. Have they signed some kind of 10 year deal with the guys who make thes things or something?

I noticed a Sirius Cybernetics Corporation Microwave a few weeks ago. When it's done it displays a little message saying "Enjoy Your Meal!"
