Catchy headline. I think you are right that history will repeat itself here. But what's to stop a company like #Google or #Amazon getting into this space? Maybe even #Facebook?
Lol, yes, I suppose so @[Martin Bliz](user:39134), but perhaps I've at least prevented other future disgruntled #Amazon#Echo customers from destroying Alexa. $AMZN
That's crazy! If he's worried about privacy with #Amazon's #Alexa, just hit the mute button. Or if he's really concerned, sell it on Ebay, don't trash it. With the money he saves, he can get the Amazon Tap which only activates when you press the button. $AMZN
Yeah,- Alexa, is great. #Alexa enables users to interact with devices in a more intuitive way by using their voice. You can play music, answer questions, even set an alarm or timer, etc. Another good thing is the more customers use Alexa, the more she adapts. BUT...what disturbs me is the response of the spokeswomen Rachel Hass".... we don't discuss details about security features, and I wouldn't speculate on hypothetical situations." (when some people asked isn't this device a snitch). There was quite interesting discussion on Customerso last week and one of the members shared that he threw his device from the window after few days of use... $AMZN#Amazon
Companies know not to get on #Trump's bad side, but it will hopefully be the average American who benefits from this. And while yes, many companies were planning these expansions anyway, pressure from Trump can't hurt to ensure those jobs stay in the US. Plus a little good PR never hurt a company. $WMT$AMZN
I agree... anything can be hacked. It is only a matter of time before"always on" devices like #Amazon'ss Echo are targeted as eaves dropping devices. Hackers, corporate espionage, or if the 2016 election is any indication, foreign governments are all likely perpetrators. $AMZN
I use #Alexa often. It can't answer nearly as many questions as #Siri, but can have "skills" added, app-like programs to do everything from play games to control your smart home. $AMZN$AAPL
I've never used #GoogleAssist and hadn't realized #Google was getting into this space but could see them being formidable. But I've never had #Cortana successfully answer anything I've ever asked it. All it does is direct me to a web search. No idea what #Microsoft is trying to accomplish with that but I would place them dead last. $GOOGL$MSFT

Why isn't $AMZN trading at $950? #Amazon seems to have their hands in everything but they sat the rally out last week.
