Windows Mail replaces Obama with Osama, Klingon with Clinton

A friend emails me that his Windows Mail program keeps trying to replace "Obama" with "Osama." He notes that he bought the computer in December 2007, when Obama was already a well-known candidate. A bit odd, though I suspect just a glitch (but you never know, programmers are wacky people). Kind of a funny one, though. Oh, and when you type in Clinton or McCain, you get bupkis. But when you type in "Klingon" you get "Clinton." (But, as reader Rob, who discovered this, notes: "At least the Klingons joined the Federation.")



Speaking of which, here's a funny story about a Wired.com writer whose spell-check keeps keeps trying to change his name "Zjawinski" to "Lewinsky."
