Then, shalt crow count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number crow shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt crow not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that crow then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest crow thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

They've done educational focused kit before, like the eMac and the eMate (the eMac was only available to .edu unless you could find a teacher friend who'd Shawshank one to you).

Chromebook and iPad sales are done in bulk and at volume, there's still room for profit for a robust device, and it'll be interesting to see how and when this plays out.

I have both an Echo and a Google Home/Nest/Whatever they're calling it this week and they are annoyingly inconsistent. The same radio station I play every day when I wake up (KCRW has an awesome music show called Morning Becomes Eclectic, check it out!) randomly gets misheard and plays god knows what. If this fixes this then that's awesome but I'm not holding my breath, otherwise it's just another crap shoot to see if it gets it right today.

At bedtime "lights out" sometimes gets misheard as "lights on" and the whole fracking house gets lit up like Vegas. Jesus, I'm not a mumbler. If this AI can figure out it's bedtime and does the right thing that's just what I want.

While I wait for Godot, I'm slowly switching over to Apple's homepod ecosystem. Don't laugh, Siri does so little that getting it wrong is less likely to happen. It's yet to fail me playing audio, it knows how to set a timer accurately, the speaker audio is awesome in comparison, and the lighting on/off works. That's 99% of what we all use these high speed moron assistants for anyway.
