Re: Interesting...
A microphone in every room, listening 24x7, all connected to a service you don't control. What could possibly go wrong?
You mean like the typical cell phone, which is switched on, has an active microphone, and is within voice distance of the typical user?
"OK, Google..." or "Hey, Siri..." is normal, but "Alexa ..." is strange? Anything that has a microphone on it and a network connection is a possible spy in your home. The Echo made news simply because this is the fist time that the cops think that it may contain relevant information. I would love for Amazon to say, "here you go, no problem," with a big fat blank sheet of paper, because the device really doesn't have anything on it. Like everything that's spoken in the range of its microphone.
