I thought it was Facebook that elected Trump (not Google).    I guess its ok when the left attacks the media (but not when Trump does).

Yeah It's probably time to Close this thread down.   LOL.

For over a year I had been wanting something like an echo to try out some smart appliances.    I had wanted Apple to come out with a Echo competitor a home Hub or expanded apple TV.

Back in the summer DED did a similar article

Which lead me to wait thinking it would be shortly released this past fall.   Well I was wrong and in November finally got an Echo.   Its great.   I'm so impress with how Alexa can understand me from the other room even with a television on.  Love it.    So much nicer than picking up a phone.

While many of DED's stories are very informative I don't see a need to attack these other products whenever one of the other ones receives favorable press.

Siri may have been expanded to other platforms like the watch or Mac but I don't find it any more useful now than two years ago.    I don't know anyone who thinks its much more than a frustrating joke to use it.    It's your grandfather's Oldsmobile of AI.

I think that Apple is really behind the times.    I would find the watch and AirPods much more compelling if Siri was better.   If Amazon does deliver another phone (yes the first fire phone was a joke) I will take a look at it and may switch because Amazon has a big Ecosystem themselves.

Apple would be foolish to think that people are forever locked into their products even when they are the best now.

This database remains very unlikely to be created.

But if it does then every loyal American reading this post should register for it. I certainly will.

Muslim American are Americans and we need to defend our fellow Americans, through the dilution of an unconstitutional database if necessary.

The Census is basically creating a database of everyone and is constitutional.   Shouldn't be a problem with this.

This probably won't happen because it will probably be blocked by the Senate or liberal courts.
Besides Trump already gave into public opinion in not investigating Hillary.
