One of my cow-orkers showed me the Amazon Echo today. The first thing I said was, "So people are going to put something in their house that listens to everything they say? Every argument with their wife? Every drug deal or other blackmailable act?"
I'm already concerned about my Android phone! "OK Google. Are you still listening?"
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
