I probably would not want this in my house but may be worth buying for eBay if I get an invite.

Would you like Mr Bezos and Obama living in your house? That's what he was probably saying.

Google figured out the trick to rolling out updates.
If you just make the change and force it on people, they'll just complain about how the old one was so much better, instead you gotta make it limited availability and by invite only and everyone is falling all over themselves trying to get in on it :)


And now Amazon is pushing sales this way...

Amazon Echo: Thoughts??

What are your thoughts about having a virtual personal assistant in your living room with your kids? What if it's hacked? Is the government listening? Is this the first big step to having our whole home connected? $99 for Prime members for a limited time. http://www.amazon.com/oc/echo
