Yeah, that was actually the first thing I thought of, except that I wondered if they were bringing him back, rather than the more likely in-joke explanation.
"Microsoft’s $40 billion dilemma; Google may be winner in Microsoft-Yahoo fight, "undermining Microsoft's main reason for pursing the deal in the first place." MOO HA HAAAAAA."
Possibly the best part of that first article is the MicroHOO logo.

Hi! Manhattanite here, chiming in about bringing a new Bio-whatsit facility to my fair city.
It's amazing to me how many people around here think this is a Fabulous Idea. They're working really hard to bring the nasty germs in to boost our local economy. I can hardly express how excited I am by the prospect of Plum Island in my backyard.
The Zombie outbreak will begin here. Count on it. Which is really only fair, since we're kind of centrally located. It just wouldn't do to give one coast a headstart over the other.
Natalie Portman Set for 'Wuthering Heights.' Well, it's a good thing she's here to save the day, since Britain has no actresses.
Wasn't it Juliette Binoche in another semi-recent unnecessary, fercryeye remake? The entire UK must have no actresses. (I have a joke about how Wuthering Heights was remade, like, 2.5 years ago with Keira Knightley, but I don't want to offend fans of that P&P, even if screaming fiercely in the rain should be trademarked for Brontë-esque novels.)
Oh, I love the Juliette Binoche/Ralph Fiennes version (which I think ended up being too awful to even release in theaters) in a very shameful way. (It does legitimately have beautiful music, though.)
I actually like WH because I view it as a horror story--an emotional horror story, granted, but basically as being about two extremely dysfunctional people who lay waste to everyone around them (um, what did the Lintons do to anyone? Seriously) rather than An Epic Romance for the Ages. Of course, I'm not sure my take would sell as well at theaters.

I think of it as a story of destruction and death -- which sounds compatible with how it strikes you. Jasper Fforde sees what you found, since he put the characters in off-the-page therapy in one of his Thursday Next book.
Your mom and my mom are on the same page with loving the Aussie American idol. My mom wants to boycott the show. See I don't think he was going to be the American Idol, but he was eliminated a bit early. I think it was the same thing that happened with Chris Daugherty.

I am so over Heathcliff, in theory and in cinema.
