Microsoft has been commissioned to design the rooms for a luxury hotel being built in Paris.  However, their first blueprints were rejected after test subjects reported that they had trouble sleeping in them.  Too many windows.

With mortgage defaults at a record high, unemployment figures through the roof, the national debt set on self-destruct, the U.S. has never been in more dire straits. In fact, there are reports that China is getting buyer's remorse.
