So, Microsoft is buying Nuance, a voice recognition company that makes a product that can listen in on exam room conversations between physicians and patients.

A little creepy, no? But, I suppose their software will be discreet enough to shut down when it hears something intimate and not store the information to try to sell me a related product later on.
