	Ethical Software by Alex Bunardzic » Is Clippy a Smart Servant?
		Clippy wouldn’t know what a change of context were even if someone were to staple it on his forehead.
		All that Clippy can detect is a trivial fact that the email client has been activated by the user, and that some characters have been typed into the body of the client.
		Clippy is actually a dumbed down version of the original user agent (perhaps due to resource constraints), and the original test system was non-graphical.

	Reports of Clippy's demise exaggerated \| CNET News.com
		Clippy, the cute but much maligned animated paper clip introduced with Office 97, was given his walking papers by Microsoft recently as part of a $30 million marketing campaign promoting Office XP.
		Still, Microsoft made good sport of booting Clippy during Thursday's Office XP launch gala in New York, calling several times on an actor dressed as the talking paper clip.
		Clippy derives his heritage from Bob, Microsoft's failed attempt to put an animated graphical interface on the Windows operating system.

	Chris Pratley's OneNote Blog : Clippy and User Experiences
		I think Clippy, or any other agent, would be very useful if it’s based on a system-wide agent architecture that monitors user actions in all applications, on any computer, build a comprehensive behavioral profile, and start doing some real work on behalf of the user.
		Clippy was based on the research that led to Bob (Nass and Reeves at Stanford back in 1995, more recently BJ Fogg "Persuasive Computing").
		I think that clippy has a long way to go before it is able to be anywhere near as helpful as describing what you're trying to do to someone who has done it before.

		Formed from the remains of unsuccessful Hollywood films, Clippy was created as the official mascot of AMC theaters, replacing the vastly unpopular Sticky, a piece of gum under the seats whose career was cut short when he was accidentally eaten by a young child whom we’ll call Dot.
		You see, for those of you that don’t go to the theater, or just don’t have an AMC in your area, Clippy runs the whole “Silence is Golden” deal that they play before every movie.

	NewsFactor Network \| Microsoft Office's Clippy Gets Bent Out of Shape
		As part of its effort to promote Office XP ("Ex-Paperclip"), the software giant is focusing on the demise of Clippy, the annoying little paperclip "helper" reviled by many an MS Office user.
		Clippy first appeared in Microsoft's Office 97, and has been roundly disliked ever since.
		The real question, according to analysts, is not whether Clippy's glory is worth the price but whether Office XP is. Microsoft may be hard-pressed to convince users to plunk down more dollars for features they did not use in earlier versions of the software, including the recent Office 2000 suite.

	Office: Kill Clippy
		Clippy is our name for that little paperclip that appears in Microsoft Office 97 — the official name is the Office Assistant.
		Clippy's motto is "all for one." The Office Assistant setting is global for all Office 97 programs and is automatically switched on when you start another Office 97 program for the first time.
		You may be the world's expert on Excel and not need Clippy but a dunce with Access — but Microsoft has decided that your knowledge level (and thus need for Clippy's intervention) is the same across all Office 97 programs.

		For the benefit of people born since 1998, I’ll explain that Clippy worked like this: If it sensed you were (for example) writing a letter ("Dear Microsoft Bob,…;"), it would manfest itself chirpily and offer to insert the Letter template.
		If Microsoft had waited a decade to introduce Clippy, it could have taken advantage of the empathic software and of the webcams that stare unblinkingly from the tops of so many monitors.
		Two ways it could work: First, if Clippy sensed that you were having trouble (furrowed brow, foaming at the mouth), it could safely assume that help might be appropriate and pop up with some hope of a warm welcome.
