This serves a grand niche need for 35 beans.

I plan to test it a lot more when I have the house to myself....
You can now change the wake word to "Computer".
My gal was napping on the couch and with Alexa talking back (jokes, suggestions, etc.) while using the App, it was pretty disturbing. In reality, I doubt that I would start an album, tell it to stop, start an artist, pop up a movie, stop it, start another, etc.. Unfortunately, you have to test this stuff before bringing it to the public. I want to "wow" my guests, not make them pity me when it doesn't work. (As a side note, practice does not mean it will actually work when you want it to. It is like teaching a dog to sit and when you demonstrate it to a neighbor, all the dog wants to do is hump the neighbor's leg.)and whomp , there it is....within the nutshell of it all.
by the time this shit becomes common place, us lonely nerds will well be onto something else. And that tickles me as much as it scares me.
That is exactly why I keep the wake word "Alexa". Amazon and Computer are common terms around my nerd hive.Yep. Tis is a great shits n' giggles geeky wake word. I gave it a test drive away from my choice of "echo".
It's cool, but I soon found that "computer" is even more ubiquitous than Alexa and/or Amazon. The deal breaker was when I was watching the MacBreak Weekly podcast. My Dot was flipping out. Eventually I had to go "red ring" button on her ass.
The upside funny was between 15+ wakes/replies of confusion babble, she started playing a Fleetwood Mac station on the kitchen rig. Deep cuts mind you. I paused the podcast and grooved out awhile.
....hello? dystopia?
It will be interesting to see where Google goes from here. They can definitely put some pressure on Amazon.Yeah, I've noticed that the little Google air freshener doesn't false trigger, 'cause nobody says "OK, Google" in everyday chit chat. It can also direct music or YooToob videos to any CC or CCA. I wish they'd come out with a Dot-like device, too, like a voice-enabled CCA without the need for the air freshener.

This bit is dead nuts on target.
