  "going to a restaurant's home page will bring up a message, reading “I've got directions, hours, and more.” Clicking the message brings up a sidebar with the restaurant's contact information, location, reviews and an OpenTable reservation link" [1] More pay-per-click than paperclip?

  > Clippy is back! Clippy was apparently 1996. Afaik, that's about the same point machine learning was going through a renaissance away from expert systems. As a comment on a previous HN story quipped, most of the 90s ideas weren't fundamentally bad, just impossible to realize with the knowledge and technology of the time.

  Siri is the new Clippy. Siri keeps popping up without anyone asking, demanding she be attended to.
