I've forgotten what it's called already, but there's a Thing Amazon have done called something or other, but its like Siri or Google voice thing, but the trailer advert is on http://www.amazon.com and it all felt a bit Black Mirror. I use Siri to tell me the time and set alarms but thats about it.

I'd like to recycle and reword a joke I made in the adverts thread earlier, and say that I'd name my Amazon thing 'HAL'.

Interesting. When are you going to post the joke you mentioned?

Thomas

I like to broaden the definition of 'joke' because it makes me seem funnier to myself.

It's Siri in a mono speaker, isn't it. One of those things which feels like it could be something special until you realise what it can't do and that you've already got something like that. Siri is hands-free when the device it's on is plugged in.
