Looks interesting. Something like Amazon's Echo could be the next big thing for the smart home, what do you think? Does someone already own an Echo? It is not yet available in Europe.

We have an Echo and love it! It's still pretty raw, but as a voice controlled radio, wikipedia, current information, ... it works rather well.

Like with other voice controlled critters, it doesn't hurt to look up the stunts it can do and the right ways to ask.

Re: Andy Rubin and the Actuated Internet — NewCo Shift — Medium

Hmm-
I am a little skeptical about the smart home thing, but we shall see.

I suppose the reason I'm skeptical is mostly because when day-to-day things such as phones, printers or even just getting some groceries are kind of a mixed touch are meh to use 
 Google has a bad rep for "fixing" how there webpage works(for example). I don't know how many people got to use NAVI/Sherpy a sort of AI grad project that eventually found it self in Android. What made it realy nice and kind of a head of it's time was it had a desktop version and then would hop to your phone. 
 The desktop version you could use a mic and talk to it like a person (somewhat) it'd do it's best to do a bunch of things from get directions to read articles. While the smaller minion version was much more limited but still useful (help me take a picture of this beach for example)

Some legit concerns started to come up when NAVI would ask if you wanted your paper or ask about the weather and how you were doing. 

On the other hand there's been talk for a while about trying to get droids to help out and be the droid you're looking for. Mabie droid drivers or pilots? Does that meen we'll need to ensure the HaloNAV systems are booted up before even going to Regal 14?

I   didn't see what specific goals Rubin has for this project unless i missed it someplace. Rubin just seemed to think droids might be helpful, and the internet needs a reboot.
Is he hoping  to get droids to help with things people seem to be bad at? or suppliment them for specific tasks?
IE- Oh crap it's Noah's Flood, and there's and a power line is on the road, call a droid to fix the downed line.

I don't know what Andy has in mind exactly, but it seems to be painful for Google to loose such a brilliant engineer. Here is an additional WIRED article about his new venture | company | playground http://www.wired.com/2016/02/android-inventor-andy-rubin-playground-artificial-intelligence/

There are already robotic vacuum cleaners you can buy, for example the iRobot Roomba 980. Imagine a smart home where you can say "computer, when was the last time we cleaned the apartment?" or "computer, clean the apartment, please". I would like that.
