I hear you,... Google home and Echo. Know every thing you say.

Both Echo and Google Home eavesdrop on you at all times, Wired reminds us. That’s also a required feature, so that they’re able to respond to your voice commands. However, the Echo and Google Home do not send data to servers until they’re activated by a hot word. So all the silly things you say around them shouldn’t be recorded.

The gadgets need an internet connection to send audio clips to servers so that Amazon and Google can process your requests. Without these elements, the assistants can’t understand and reply to you. It’s not just the box in your home. Now, if you’re looking to see what kind of recordings Amazon or Google have on you, you can do that. And you can even delete that data.

Don’t forget to check Wired’s full story, which also explains how Apple’s Siri and Microsoft’s Cortana work.

Generally, a dry period of three months is necessary to stress the coffee plant and produce flowers. However, a shorter dry period and extended rainfall can result in reduced flowers. Fluctuations in weather patterns such as precipitation, temperature, storms, strong winds, and other extreme weather patterns can negatively affect the quality and producti...

Israel..... put up or shut up on US involvement on UN vote.

Israel say it has proof that the US was behind the resent UN vote that is causing a diplomatic earth quake. John Kerry denies the charge in strongest of "diplomatic" terms. So will Israel have to put up or shut up? Not really. Israel spy's on the US as we spy on them. To "put up" would be to do exactly what Obama would want. To publicly expose there (Israel's) intelligence gathering ability for all to see would do greater harm than a UN vote. Obama and John Kerry are soon out of power. Israel knows it and Trump knows it This childish in your face move by Obama and Kerry will fade as surely as Hillary Clinton has. Obama takes a parting shot at Israel
