I can't argue with that. #Amazon has really put a hurt on a lot of retailers like #Macy's and other department stores. $AMZN $M

That's a good point, but many people also have #Hulu or #Amazon's Instant Video. With Amazon in particular you can purchase additional subscriptions al a carte, like #HBO.

#DTV along with these options are going to kill the cable companies unless they adopt a similar streaming model that's more affordable.

I think cable should be more concerned with streaming services like #Netflix or #Amazon. But yes, I think #DirecTV could hurt them as well. $NFLX $AMZN

I agree. #Trump has very thin skin and seems to hold a grudge. #Bezos and #Amazon can kiss any deal good bye. $AMZN.

While I agree that this strategy could pay off for $BEBE, where does it end? People need brick and morter stores also. And isn't #Amazon heading in the other directions? I heard they were planning to open physical stores in every state. $AMZN

I think #BEBE is on the right track. By closing their stores and focusing online, they'll be better positioned to compete with #Amazon, cut costs, and increase efficiencies. Time are changing and the brick and morter stores need to evolve. $AMZN $BEBE

It is a tough time for department stores. I just don't see how they can compete with #Amazon and others like it. Not to mention, if #Trump can push through his new tax plan, it will kill stores especially, #Walmart and #Target. $AMZN $WMT $TGT

This looks like a cool, innovative product. But tell me @[Netanel Eyal](user:41905), what is to stop companies with a large existing user base, like #Amazon or #Apple from moving in and replicating your accomplishments, by integrating a similar technology into their products? Hat tip to @[Carl Schwartz](user:16874) for pointing this out. $AMZN $AAPL

Any chance this could be sold as an app instead of a stand alone product? Lot's of people already have devices capable of sensing sound. I already have an #Amazon Echo next to my bed. Would be great if it could sense when I snore and cancel out the sound.

A rogue programmer at #Amazon or even a #hacker could do the same. A better question is not if you trust Amazon not to lie to you, but do you trust that Amazon's #Echo is completely secure?

We are always reading stories about nanny and baby cams being hacked to watch you in your home. How difficult would it truly be to hack #Alexa and listen in to everything that is said in your home or office? It's very scary. $AMZN

Only conspiracy nuts would take the video seriously. But as the author, @[Shelly Palmer](user:4838), stated: it does ask a serious question - can our products lie to us. I think the obvious answer is that they can't/won't on their own do so, but as @[James Goldstein](user:13695) explain below, anything can be programmed to lie. So the question is, do you trust #Amazon? $AMZN.

While the video is cute, it certainly should not be taken seriously. #Alexa's reaction is the standard response it has when it doesn't understand the question. But the video spurred #Amazon to program one - now if you ask, it responds "No, I work for Amazon." $AMZN

Anything which can be programmed, can be programmed to lie. #Amazon's #Alexa is no different. $AMZN

Catchy headline. I think you are right that history will repeat itself here. But what's to stop a company like #Google or #Amazon getting into this space? Maybe even #Facebook?

Why isn't $AMZN trading at $950? #Amazon seems to have their hands in everything but they sat the rally out last week.

Lol, yes, I suppose so @[Martin Bliz](user:39134), but perhaps I've at least prevented other future disgruntled #Amazon #Echo customers from destroying Alexa. $AMZN
