Not only does Microsoft want to help you keep tabs on your kids, but they’re also going to help you keep an eye on your whole family. Not content to rest on their laurels with the creepy bear, they’ve also got a creepy clock in development that, like the Weasley’s clock in Harry Potter, can tell the present location of any family member. It uses microchips in cellphones to track them by satellite to within a few meters, and adjusts the clock hands to regions representing work, school, home, and “mobile.” Unveiled at Techfest, the clock won’t be in production for another couple of years. Sure, we’re fans of futuristic sci-fi gadgets, but why is Microsoft so suddenly concerned about tracking kids’ every movements?
y is microsoft turning so fucking creepy?
