Clippy is open source on Github - http://thebeebs.github.io/OfficeAssistant/

This one got me bad, you could have even phished me into entering my GitHub password.

I was thinking GitHub and Microsoft did a collaboration in their April Fools prank because how else could Clippy popup when you click a link.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

For or against gTLDs Google should not be able to squat .dev is too generic to give to one company. Infact any one company squatting any gtld that isn't their registered trademark leaves a sour taste in my mouth. It's just a game of "we have money therefor shut up." combined with "The world revolves around the USA"

How is "squatting" .dev meaningfully different from having .dev.com? People here give way too much importance to TLDs.
