Microsoft Attempting to Patent System to Monitor Your BrainQUOTE
The company has filed a patent that would link workers to their computers via a variety of sensors, measuring pulse rate, body temperature, movement, facial expressions, and blood pressure. The idea: Your computer would monitor your metabolism in order to detect when a user is frustrated or stressed, telling management when you might need help.

No such unsexy OS has any business mucking about in my brain.

They've already got a system that measures every second of my workday but they're not hooking me up with wires and probes!
Most younger people's brain development has already been formatted by Windows anyway.

The chip will be implanted directly on the brain.

That's just Microsoft's attempt to turn humans into batteries. Follow the White Rabbit Neo.
Shit won't work though, cuz it's made by Microsoft. You might as well go to your local McDonald's and ask for a nice Steak Tartare.

Every time I watch that stupid channel (and all the other ones that feature "reality" programming), I feel like I'm witnessing the end of civilization.
That show Rob & Big is kind of funny, but at least that has a script and they're not being serious. So many of those reality shows just consist of incredibly dull dull dull boring tedious shallow fuckheads perpetrating their own misery. None of them have anything interesting to say, none of them ever do anything interesting, and none of them seem to have an intelligence beyond most 3rd graders. They're not even attractive.
Can somebody explain to me why that stuff is on television? I don't get it.

Writing responses to public tenders will do that to you.
I'd rather be teachin' and researchin' (again).

It's nice work, if you can get it.
What's a public tender? Anything like a public display of affection?
