Apart from all the other colorful, fun adjectives & names, The Donald is just a petulant, little child sitting in the corner and sulking with a big fat lip or throwing a tantrum to draw his mom’s attention.

I hear you and I mostly agree with your points. No question that I still like Alexa (also coz she might get pissed off at me). But the development stayed stagnant for a long time... the 2 new devices you talk about and the almost weekly emails that we receive with new skills only started a few months ago, probably…

Oh, I’m sure Home will destroy Echo. I’ve used Echo for the past 2 yrs since their Beta program. I’ve maintained for a long time that it was Amazon’s game to lose... they had 2yrs to make it an amazing product but for the longest time, they rested on the laurels of being the first to market.

Why??!! Why is Ford doing this to us? I thought Ford was one of us?!!

A minivan?? Was he working with kids & used Doritos bags?

Echo’s Dot thingie might work... haven’t looked into it in too much detail.

Oh wow... thanks for donating to the Google Futures Charity LOL. Your generous contribution will help Google to make better products for all of us in the future. [slightly sarcastic :)]

Yeah, it seemed quite automated, similar to lip syncing :) Except for this faux pas, it was choreographed pretty well... there was a slight slip up when the other presenter first demoed Pixel. The big screen already showed his swipe-up gesture before he actually swiped up on the physical phone.

Nope (I’m not married anyway)... but the typo in the message made it look like an FYI in the past tense.

They updated the Store page... look under “Connected Home”.

I just pre-ordered one and I’m currently using an Amazon Echo since the beta period 2yrs ago. I look forward to using the GHome with my Chromecast TV, the remaining stuff looks similar to the Echo; although based on the keynote alone, Alexa’s voice sounds better (natural).

Ah ok... my bad, didn’t realize it’d be the same as the current phones :)

I use Siri, but not too much. However, I don’t see any big advantage of either system... the functionality seems very similar, IMO.

Looks like Brian’s wife doesn’t mind if he goes to music concerts by himself.

Have to confess: I read the headline too fast and missed the “r” in “pantry”. If I had a girlfriend/SO, I could’ve just told her to capitalize on it but since I don’t, I probably come across as a perv. Sigh...

Wasn’t this already in the iOS version of GMaps? I constantly see events (topic, date & time) at the intended locations on GMaps when I’m driving around.

Merits aside, 2 of the most charismatic Presidents in the recent past.

Ah, forgot the independents.

Well, come Nov 8 or the swearing-in day, there’s a 50% chance that AF1 will have gilded pillars, gold roof liners, gold shag carpets and gold trim on the exterior.

WTF is wrong with this monkey?? He’s running for POTUS, not President of 2nd grade. Eye on the ball, moron. Stop these little things get to you... if ‘n when he becomes President, will a cheese maker in Switzerland or a fisherman in Thailand irritate him with some lame comment? Who the F is this idiot? And why the F…
