if this doesn't sell, they will use these to track their workers...not that they don't do that already.
Got a tip for us?

I want R2D2.
I won’t accept anything else.

If Amazon's Kindle Unlimited software is any indication of their software in general, no way would I use it. its only books, but they can't tell you if you have already read a book until you download it (then only sometimes), they have a continue where you left off feature, that has the first 12 entries it are not yet published. Not to mention having to reboot the kindle so you can turn the pages, and application error? that is like Microsoft's blue screen of death
"But but but if you've got nothing to hide, you shouldn't care." OR "I'm not interesting enough for them to look at me."
So blissfully ignorant and shortsighted.
This. They have some really cool product ideas in the home space, but they don't give a damn about privacy. OTOH, we have Apple building things into Homekit like Homekit Secure Video with privacy in mind, but then they rely on lackluster 3rd party products to use it rather than building their own innovative products to push the market. It's a shame.

Bah. Wake me up when that drone product can keep me focused in my absent-mindedness; provide plans for its replacement in the event of its own demise; and help me keep Flubber in line. When that happens, then we can talk. 😉
What a BS event. Where’s the new Kindles? It’s been over 2 years. My Voyage is on its last legs…

Home Robot is guaranteed to have less than 0.1% chance of murdering your entire family in their sleep.

While I question the viability of some of this stuff, I gotta admit, Apple's stuff often looks boring by comparison.

This is Bezos' strategy...throw everything at the wall and sees what sticks.
BTW, I'm surprised he hasn't launched an operating system called BezOS.

I prefer to think of it as Apple does not go in for gimicky hardware like facebook, google, amazon and microsoft do on a regular schedule.

Big no from me. After seeing our echo turn on by itself I got creeped out and unplugged it for good.
Instead, it's just the same old proven hardware over and over again. New iPhone! New tablet! New computers!

Yeah I'll be getting one of those. $250 is a no brainer for something that can you check on every room at different angles remotely. My Logi Circle cost $120 on sale.
AirPods are pretty exciting. So is M1.
What gimicky hardware has Microsoft made on a regular basis? I would also question your comment referring to Amazon too for some of their products.

I have to admit, all of this stuff is seriously cool tech. If it wasn't for the fact that I don't want Amazon listening in on me 24/7, I'd be all over it. I'm generally not a paranoid guy either.
