What you can expect from Amazon Prime Day sales
Amazon attempted to further its domination of online retail last year with the creation of Prime Day.

Kahney’s Korner: Apple could learn from the Amazon Echo
I’ve had the Amazon Echo sitting on my desk for the last couple of months and it’s an odd device – and I actually think it’s pretty great.
It’s a voice-controlled, speaker-cum-shopping tube that can go in your kitchen, living room or bedroom. You use it for simple queries like, “How’s the weather?” or “How is my commute? or “What is Barack Obama’s middle name?”
Listen to me interact with this device on this week’s edition of Kahney’s Korner.
