This wired article on the Alexa prize gives some good background on how hard it is to make a good chatbot/socialbot. It's a long article, but here's one of the things that confused the bot: But anyway, as for Reinhardt, what is George’s favorite song?
George sidesteps. “Do you like Jack Johnson?” he asks.
The bot seems thrown. “Come on,” it replies. “I like to talk to you.”
George leans forward and tries again. “Jack Johnson, do you like him?”
“Come on, I like to talk to you.” It doesn't quite feel like a Monday to me yet since the kids had snow days Thursday and Friday. But it's nice to see AAPL moving around a bit today, and back in the green.

> 41% plan to get an Amazon Echo, followed by 22% for HomePod, just ahead of Google Home.
This doesn't sound so bad for a new $350. product up against the established $100. Echo.
Picked up a replacement/repair watch on Saturday. The Store was packed. I saw one person purchase 2 HomePod, and another person I'm assumed was purchasing. He had a bag and box, but was taking it out of the box to look at. I wasn't there but for maybe 20 minutes (it was just a pick-up.).
I do expect that some buyers are waiting for HomePod stereo support.
