Microsoft's wired Software Devlopers to BRAIN SCANNERS

Clippy: It looks your hands are shaking, are you sure you want to commit this code?



Microsoft is developing a new approach to splatting bugs in software before they take down production systems.

It involves wiring up programmers to sensors that record brain activity, track eye movement, and test how sweaty the engineers are.


If the developer is stressed – bingo, they're probably reading some rather hairy code. And, while writing software, similar signals could indicate the devs are themselves introducing bugs and security flaws while under pressure.

This new technique was outlined in an academic paper from Microsoft Research and University of Zurich researchers: Using Psycho-Physiological Measures to Assess Task Difficulty in Software Development[PDF].

By wiring up 15 developers with an "eye-tracker, an electrodermal activity sensor, and an electroencephalography sensor" the researchers were able to successfully predict how difficult a programmer found a particular program's code to read.

Microsoft - A company which was the first one to become NSA alliance will treat each and every single Software Developers with brain storming - BRAIN SCANNING therapy.

NSA recruits college students for cyber-operations program

The government agency known for its secretive surveillance tactics is opening academic cybersecurity training centers in 13 US universities.


The National Security Agency is looking to grow its ranks with highly-trained college students. The government agency announced Tuesday that it has chosen five new schools to host its specialized Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations Program.

Those handpicked schools include New York University, Towson University, United States Military Academy, University of Cincinnati, and University of New Orleans. In all, the NSA cyber-operations program has a total of 13 schools.

=================================================
More probably you are joining NSA task-force, if you select US University.

All other US Tech Giant will follow this trend in near future to dump the World with full proof spying devices, toys and gadgets.
The choice is yours, whether do you want to be addicted to such US High Tech Electronics Devices, Gadgets and Toys or not?

At this point I'm wondering if we can just default EVERY thread you start to Off Topic because that's where they're all ending up anyway.

Very slow there ... microsoft ... Im very close to developers of a similar idea here which is in final government approval phase before release ... only a few months till final sign off ... they could face serious patent issues.
