Siri: ‘Amazon’s Echo Has A Problem’

Big Brother isn’t just watching, he’s listening. At least, he’s listening to Amazon Echo customers. Wil Gomez:

Amazon’s Echo device is pretty cool, though. Like Siri’s always on ‘Hey Siri…’ function on the iPhone, Echo really is always on, always listening to what’s going on in a room, thanks to a handful of always on microphones. Anybody see a problem with that?

Uh oh. What could go wrong? Alfred Ng:

Arkansas police are hoping an Echo found at a murder scene in Bentonville can aid their investigation… investigators filed search warrants to Amazon (see below), requesting any recordings between November 21 and November 22, 2015, from James A. Bates, who was charged with murder after a man was strangled in a hot tub.

This isn’t going to end well.


iShowU Mac Screen Movies

iShowU Instant captures the Mac's screen and quickly turns it into an HD movie to share or upload. iShowU Instant's interface is user friendly but has customizable settings, PIP camera, and outputs QuickTime or MP4 videos at 60fps.
