Microsoft Research and the Future of Search

There’s a small snippet from the PC Magazine article “”It’s Impossible to Find Stuff”:http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1842991,00.asp.”

Microsoft is even working on something called the brain interface, which uses your brain activity to mold a computer’s behavior to your particular needs. “We’re trying to detect motor cortex activation, when a user is reading, counting, etc.,” says lead group manager Mary Czerwinski. “When we can detect this kind of processing, perhaps [a PC] can present new content in a manner that won’t interfere with those activities.”

A machine that adjusts its behavior according to your thoughts? It doesn’t get any easier than that.

I really hope they get the BSOD fixed by then.
