In other news, Microsoft [link] continues it's tradition of stealing ideas and making them their own.
Microsoft Creates Weasley Clock
Microsoft has created a new digital wall clock which strongly resembles JKR's Weasley clock we read about and saw in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Rather than using numbers, the clock points to places like 'Home', 'School', 'Work', etc. This creation went on display yesterday at Microsoft's Techfest, an annual science fair which displays creations being developed in Microsoft labs around the world. As one person commenting on the article noted, they forgot the locations 'lost' and 'mortal peril'. [link]
Stealing and making it their own? Looks like some geeks geeked out to me -- it's not like it's an actual product, or anything.

Sorry about the scratch, Nonian.
I am being very weird today. Someone make me stop.
Silly...very, very silly.
I don't think I'm in any position to ask someone else to stop being silly.
These are just too cute not to share! Bastet loves her boxes: [link]

I was using it as a hook for the presentation of the story. I agree, while Microsoft has a history of outright theft of ideas, concepts and technology, in this instance it appears to be just a geekfest.
