Microsoft Research should really drop "research" from its name. We are not talking Bell Labs-level of research here. They come up with the most useless "inventions" like Multimouse https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/multimouse-makes-computer-learning-communal-experience/ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/multimouse-mak... so why are we surprised that Recall is criticised so much?
- nocsi 2y agoBut how is multimouse useless? The researcher identified a problem, investigated and produced a plausible solution. The entirety of it was driven by a ‘use’. Besides that, what would you propose calling this org that operates somewhat autonomously in an enclave within Microsoft but focuses entirely on research and is staffed entirely by PhDs and PIs?
