Patcalled rated 3 months ago- Microsoft patents worker monitoring system that can monitor the mental state and health of computer users... Scary.

demonveen rated 4 months ago- Wow, that kind of freaks me out a little bit. If my boss could monitor the amount of relaxation and enjoyment on my face when I was supposed to be working he would fire me in a heartbeat. On the other hand, once a boss realizes that in fact everyone under him thinks he's a cunt, maybe that will motivate him to change. (just gotta try the positive spin on everything you know.)

zwsnipboy rated 4 months ago- Microsoft has filed a patent for a system to monitor the health and mental state of computer users. The patent, filed yesterday, outlines a system that checks the computer use of an employee, for example, by logging actions such as web pages visited or words typed. The system matches the actions in real time with heart rate, breathing, body temperature, facial expressions and blood pressure via wireless sensors. "The system can automatically detect frustration or stress in the user via physiological and environmental sensors, and offer or provide some assistance accordingly," the patent application reads, according to The Times.
