NY Times / AMZN deal
Here’s an article from The Verge about The New York Times recent deal with Amazon do deliver its “editorial content to a variety of Amazon customer experiences,”
I shudder to think how little The Gray Lady is getting paid. However, I hope the AI Experience delivering sports news (?) and recipes!!! to Alexa users is good.
I read over the comments and one person asked why didn’t Amazon just license this content from The Washington Post, the newspaper Bezon owns? I think it’s the recipes, which are very popular and even I at times with I had a NYT subscription to access.
I suppose then if my Doppelganger (his name is Bill Winters by the way) is at BestBuy considering whether he should buy a Google Home or Alexa he might choose Alexa, becaue he would gain access to New York Times recipes. Or will it be a separate upsell ontop of Alexa? I’m not sure and in full disclosure I own a Google Home device. “Meh” is how I find Google Home Speaker, but the dull details behind that are fodder for a different blog post.

Contact page on the home screen, SuperPWA FTW
Years have gone by since I've updated this blog. But, no time like the present to change that. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step or something like that. I thought I would outline yesterday's research project. A prospective customer with a...

“BLOCKCHAIN” by Artemis Caro
I decided recently to try a new tablet. I've had a 10" Samsung Galaxy Tab A for several years and it is slow, and not new, and the 16 GB memory is a limitation. I purchased an Amazon HD Fire 8 and decided to try their "Kindle unlimited" offer. I can then...
