Quoting: Anonymous Coward 61153400 So you don't have a smart phone, an iPad nor a laptop?? I agree that this is not much worse than any internet connected device. Funny how the internet just sprang out of nowhere and became a 24/7 presence, along with the cell phone. This device is just another variation. |

They listen to you then sell you products based on what they hear you talking about. People are suckers. They'll actually pay for a device that collects their personal information then sells that information to marketing companies who turn around and sell these idiots more junk they dont need. |

I had to google it cause I had no idea what it was and I am a prime member lol. No way in the world would I want this in my home. I am allergic to stupidity so I break out in sarcasm When they said there was no Lyme in Florida they lied! |

Seeing as how you don't own any of the new 'self-bugging' devices. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 49224238 United States 11/08/2014 12:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah the family in the advert seemed a little awkward. Made me think of Stepford Wives. The ad is about the breakdown of the American family. It is now ruled by a computer. Families can no longer get along with out the mediation of an entertainment device that makes decisions for them. The ad is incredibly depressing. Notice. This device will get people used to the idea of A) always being recoded (no doubt this device is bugged) B) Using technology/smarthome/etc mark of the beast programming C) becoming programmed and depersonalized D) transhumanism. They all treat "Alexa" which by the way is a code for pedophiles as a living thing when in fact "Alexa" is a demonically possessed algorithm running on the core |

JellyVision (OP) User ID: 1037364 United Kingdom 11/08/2014 01:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to en.wikipedia.org] In Greek mythology, Echo (Greek: Ηχώ) was the personification of echo. According to Greek mythology Echo was a Nymph who had the job of talking incessantly to Hera, the Queen of the Gods, so that her husband, Zeus, would not get caught in his numerous affairs. Hera caught on to Echo's trick and cursed her to only be able to say what others had just said — hence the word "echo". |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 49224238 United States 11/08/2014 01:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Also keep in mind folks that all illuminati agents and members have already had the mark of the beast implanted. They are all of one mind. It is a hive mind. So they like this kind of stuff and want to get us ready for a hive mind. Satan uploaded himself a long time ago. This is referenced in movies like Alien and even Oblivion. The computer "Mother" is Satan. Same thing in Star Trek. It's basically how all things are organized and the propaganda line is so good. It's all controlled by him. Illuminati are just puppet shells. They only think they have free will. They really don't. Just a semblance of acting independently when really they are 100% possessed and psychopathically controlled. |

Sound's like this one is just another version of the smart phone's SIRI who gives only limited information. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 64954839 United Kingdom 11/08/2014 05:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So a lot of people seem to have a problem with this. Is the main objection to this (and Google's Siri), that they come from big companies that have links to the government? Would you trust such a device if it were from a small company, or if it were completely open-sourced, so you could verify what was going on "under-the-hood"? |

The next model will be equipped with a new feature everyone is sure to love, the "ATTENTION CITIZEN" software package update, which informs you and your family of when you all might be in any kind of violation of the Thought Police. It can also tell you to remain calm until the proper authorities arrive so that any "anomalous event" the iEcho 2.0 may have detected in your home can be investigated. Also, it will remind you of how much your big brother loves you via the daily, pro government affirmations the FCC has decided are best for you and your family needs to hear as the iEcho 2.0's adaptive programming listens, learns and adjusts itself to the needs of you and your family! |
