Don’t know, but picture yourself with the boss talking to you, the voice is a bit like the teacher in Charlie Brown cartoons - sort of waah waah woah waah.

They are always listening in and connect to your other devices, my friend has one and after him and his girlfriend had a discussion about buying a new car they both suddenly started getting adds for new cars on their phones and laptop. |

There was a Google van at a shopping centre at the weekend offering people the chance to win a Home Mini or a doughnut. The queue was really long, even though it was raining incessantly. I don't know if they wanted the device or a free doughnut. |
