Microsoft seeks patent for office 'spy' software

Microsoft is developing Big Brother-style software capable of remotely monitoring a worker's productivity, physical wellbeing and competence.

The Times has seen a patent application filed by the company for a computer system that links workers to their computers via wireless sensors that measure their metabolism. The system would allow managers to monitor employees' performance by measuring their heart rate, body temperature, movement, facial expression and blood pressure. Unions said they fear that employees could be dismissed on the basis of a computer's assessment of their physiological state.

Bill and his wife along with Warren Buffet are some of the biggest contributors in the world to Big Brother type "population control" programs (instead of contributing to Mars exploration and settlement like Russia) and Bill is the biggest proponent of illegal immigration and amnesty in the U.S. because of the large pool of slave-like cheap labor. Just more ways for the elite to control the masses and advance their plan of total oversite and (((control))) of our lives.

Bush & Gates = All that's wrong for America

I did not get a chance to see the whole thing before making this comment as I have to leave (I needs to get a PSP), but this is exactly the sort of thing that we Americans need to be in a uproar about. Maybe we can put some of the energy that we use to argue about who has the better gaming console into making sure our politians are looking out for its citizens and not the corporations. Just a thought.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing7d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster927d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
