And usually when someone asks a friend, relative or acquaintance , hey, where’d you get that? They will always respond, I got it on Amazon not oh, I got it from a company on Amazon. The consumer always invariably feels that they are buying a product from Amazon!

Amok510:

This dude laughing maniacally while wielding giant robot arms is literally the closest we’ll get to Lex Luthor.

When a former high-ranking partner who helped implement Alexa tells you he turns his off during personal conversations " I don't need another person hearing," you should take heed.
