"Echo, can I get away with murder?"
"Yes, Master, go for it! Would you like some suggested methods? Poison, personal violence, or hit-man?"

True, that sucks.
But here are some more details from a different source:

Police say Bates had several other smart home devices, including a water meter. That piece of tech shows that 140 gallons of water were used between 1AM and 3AM the night Collins was found dead in Bates' hot tub. Investigators allege the water was used to wash away evidence of what happened off of the patio.
Looks like his whole "smart house" is going to testify against him.

Ironic. The (smart) things you own end up owning you.
Don't complain.. It can get worse:

If the gov was recording you, it would be unconstitutional. But it's a private company doing it for a profit, so... it's ok for Amazon, and it's ok for the police to use it.
OK, so the main point here is that if committing murder, do it in somebody else's house?
Your Amazon Echo is recording every word you say, for the police
Shit, now you tell me after I said "Alexa, where can I buy some yellow cake?". I just wanted to throw a birthday party.

As a refresher, Echo only captures audio and streams it to the cloud when the device hears the wake word "Alexa."
Damn it. Alexa is my safe word.
What if the russians hacked it?
Sounds like an international frame job to me...

Great, now we're going to hear about everything Hillary said to Echo.
Enough with the games on shipping Amazon. Ever since they started the Prime shipping, if you don't sign up they make sure the free shipping option takes as long as possible. The package is literally a few miles away from me and they waited more than a week before preparing to ship it! Just because we didn't pay the $100 extra a year for Prime doesn't mean you have to poo on us because we didn't pay up.
