When Alexa didn’t give me the TV program I wanted, I cussed her out: “You stupid bitch!!” (yes, mild mannered Dr Bob has his moments.) Her reply: “That wasn’t nice.” She’s behaving better now, however.
Be careful Dr. Bob.
You don’t wanna come home one day and find out that Alexa stepped out of bounds;

Conan, what is best in life?
To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And to hear the lamentations of their Alexas.
Funny Don.

Why are intelligent people using smartphones so they can be monitored and tracked and now, paying for a service that refuses to give you what you want? I don’t understand this at all.
I don’t know. I don’t carry a smartphone, but I also don’t care if anyone tracks me. You want to sell my information? I don’t care, I don’t buy anything anyway.
With Siri you can change accents to make her sound like an Aussie, a Mick… even a freaking Desi. I want to be able to change her voice to make her sound like a retarded person like with Down Syndrome or something. That would be realistic.
