It's not the same, selacious, when in work i like to be treated like a person, I mean, I can arrive five minutes late, and my boss, who knows me, decides if it's ok or not, 'cause he knows if someone is pressing the button for me. But if a scanner tells someone up the piramid that employee #101257 is arriving late on a regular basis, he doesn't know if I work well, or if I have personal problems and try to catch up this minutes or many things that dealing directly with a boss can be explained. It's treating people like cattle because they are only a number and a timetable.
Well, it's understandable that a company wants to control their employees, but this degree of control is very annoying for workers, it's stressing and i would feel treated like cattle.
Well, I own myself a Nintendo GameCube and reading the article make me think the writer hasn't seen one but from afar. Is Zelda the only game playable on the NGC? Anyone has heard of Eternal Darkness? Perhaps the "Nintendo is childish" was true for the N64, and Nintendo paid for it, but if games like Metroid Prime, Eternal Darkness or Rogue Leader (for naming three only NGC titles) seem to anyone a game for children I would recomend to give them a second thought.
Not to mention the things that could be created if this technology is used for evil purposes.
The technology was there, the new thing are brighting fishes. Zebrafishes doesn't seem to me a scary thing, and by the way, i'm so much scared about what USA can do with such a technology than what "mad taiwan scientists" and their glowing pets do.

But A=>B does not mean B=>A, the fact that you can measure something doesn't mean that it can be improved or that it's relevant to the business.
