Newspapers are essential "non-profit" anyway, since they have no income to tax! They're all losing money, and have for some time... and since it doesn't look as if that circumstance will change in the future, I don't see how the proposal material benefits them materially.

Perhaps Microsoft could embed a replacement for Clippy the Paperclip--say, Stabby the Sabre? "I see you are trying to stab someone in the face. Would you like help? I'll grab the bastard from behind."

So let's collect energy so we can waste it?

We pay several tyrannical governments billions of dollars per day to pump oil out of the ground, ship it to us in vessels that are essentially large terrorist targets, where we refine it, reship it out in polluting fuel trucks, so we can sit around in stuck in traffic twice a day burning it.

Hey, at least we're consistent!
