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 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.
