Microsoft, The Fast Buy, And Big Brother

Stress at work, commit a thought crime, and The Computer will know

1 Comment

Seriously...

...you're kidding, right?

That's likely something that'll turn up in the Xbox (to counter Wii) or maybe the next version of Windows (to counter Apple's gesture control). Maybe. Some day.

Monitoring the physiology of employees is the sort of way-out-there niche that Autonomy or FAST might go after -- after all, they have to keep expanding at a faster rate than the enterprise search market at large -- and now that FAST is being acquired by Microsoft, only Autonomy would be into that (for a very select market, I might add).

The real story here is that it's interesting to see that while MS said they'd finally cracked enterprise search, they now sort of admit they need FAST's technology to get it right.
