Amazon. WTF?

[Jeffrey Lebowski]

Speaking of tracking stuff, I have a theory that smart phones are constantly listening to everything you say.

I can be having a conversation with the guys at work about something totally random when one of us decides we need to Google that particular subject. When one of us pulls our phone out to search after the first one or two letters the subject we were just discussing pops up as a suggested search. And I'm not talking about common subjects like "What's the capital of Massachusetts." It can be something like how many people have died from choking on asparagus. You'll type in the word "how" and the top suggesion will be "how many people have died from choking on asparagus."

I believe it.
Your Phone Is Listening—Literally Listening—to Your TV

This one is a little too far for me. The phone listening to the TV, I can probably buy, but not that it is listening to me.
I can't get it to listen to me even when I want it to. Siri does not understand. Neither does my car. I don't know if it is my accent or what.
I was sitting in the car with the concierge, and the car understood her every word, and not a single one of mine.
So there is no way, across the room face down on the counter my phone is understanding me.

I like it. That's what wishy-washy price shoppers get. They see a good deal then think maybe they can get an even better deal and then by the time they're done shopping around they end up paying more than if they just said "hey, that's a good deal" and bought it the first time.

I've noticed because I'm wishy-washy, I can watch things go up and down as well - to Rooskibar's point.
Put something in your amazon basket without buying, you'll get notices all the time of up and down. Or maybe it just lowers after a few weeks to finally "hook me" on something I don't need.
