Doesn’t mean future versions won’t be always on, though. #SlowlyBoilingFrogs

@aral But#Siri IS always on and listening. ...or#Cortana or#GoogleNow -
@herschkie Is Siri always on? (Must check). Not surprising that others are. -
@aral With iOS 9 / iPhone 6s ...it IS.

@aral not true, i’ve run packet captures on the echo and it doesn’t transmit anything to Amazon until you say the wake word. -
@sammachin Interesting. Latest firmware? (And quite possible he activated it without realising.) -
@aral@sammachin turns out he and his wife share an Amazon account and she searched for tin openers after talking about it -
@alex_thomas Hey Alex, do you have a source for that? (Thanks in advance) :) +@sammachin -
@alex_thomas@sammachin Thanks, both. Appreciate the updates. Hope future versions aren’t always on. Concept in general ripe for abuse.

@KDbyProxy@aral@mariachong Look at@mwhuss again and you'll read, that his wife searched for it. No Echo. -
@TecraFox@aral@mariachong On@mwhuss' story, OK. Still, my considered POV: IoT is purposefully being rolled out as a surveillance platform -
@KDbyProxy Indeed. This is the direction that it is heading in. You don’t throw frogs into boiling water… +@TecraFox@mariachong@mwhuss
