Obama is still president. Meanwhile, going by the last results I saw, it looks like the House and Senate are going to retain their respective majorities. (Yes, I know that's not official yet, just going by the results so far)
I really don't have a problem with this. I'm firmly of the mindset that if I don't like it I'll ignore it and most likely donate it to a library or sell it to a used book store. I don't place any hopes on this book above and beyond being entertained, and am approaching it as if it were a particularly well-funded piece of fan fiction.
Hey, this gives me an excuse to buy the omnibus edition of the books by Adams and brush up on the story. I had the 4-novel omnibus before the fifth book came out, but no idea what happened to it.

If Microsoft (or any other company employing this software) were to fire somebody based only on the data from this software they would be fools of the highest order. The data would be, I would hope, supplementary data to back up more traditional firing criteria - poor reviews, documented reprimands, etc.
BTW, one thing that stood out to me in TFA was:
"The system could also "automatically detect frustration or stress in the user" and "offer and provide assistance accordingly".
Forgive my cynicism, but this seems a bit... naive.

So... at least 2 more years of gridlock. yay.
Unless I missed something, it looks like this is based off of geographical features looking like features on Earth. Is this really definitive?
How about a power strip with a switch?

OK, so TPTB think we must have Real ID in place for national security.
By the same logic, should be be expecting a barrage of attacks by senior citizen terrorists?
