Snag free ice cream in select cities to celebrate Alexa’s 5th birthday

By

Did you know that Amazon’s Alexa actually has a favorite flavor of ice cream? And did you also happen to know that Wednesday, November 6, is Alexa’s birthday as well? You can celebrate Alexa’s big day with some sweet ice cream in select cities courtesy of Amazon.

The virtual assistant wants you to know that it’s her special day because for a limited time, you can swing by any of the participating ice cream truck pop-up locations below to snag your free scoop of ice cream. However, the selection is only limited to one option — Alexa’s favorite flavor, which is Mint Microchip. Hey, it’s genius when you think about it.

Even though you can wish her a happy birthday with any Alexa powered smart speaker, the cities that are offering this free scoop of ice cream are only limited to a handful. Cities participating in this special include Chicago, Miami, Minneapolis, New York City, San Francisco, and more. And yes, even Amazon’s hometown of Seattle will be celebrating the occasion. Just know that ice cream will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the locations.

Facebook Portal vs. Amazon Echo Show
Zoom on Portal

Choosing between the Facebook Portal and the Amazon Echo Show can be a tough call. With both tablets utilizing Alexa and boasting 10-inch displays, the similarities don't stop there. Looking closer, though, there are a few key features that set both devices apart. In this side-by-side of the Portal and Show, we weigh in on key criteria like design, sound, displays, and price. Read on to see which of the two smart displays we prefer.
Design

These two smart displays couldn't look more different. The Portal looks like a picture frame, which is great if you'll be using it to display photos. Available in white and black frame options, the Portal measures in at 10.25 inches wide and 7.06 inches tall. The Echo Show looks more like a tablet with a big speaker stuck on the back. Available in sandstone and charcoal backings (black frame on both), the Amazon speaker is 9.7 inches wide and 6.9 inches tall. In terms of overall aesthetic, neither display is particularly attractive, so this one's a toss-up.

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with Alexa
siri alexa feminist reboot amazon

Beginning on September 15 and lasting a full month, Alexa celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month and recognizes the contributions of this vibrant community in the U.S. as well as the influence of their ancestors from Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America, and Spain.

"These communities’ contribution has been not only their dedicated work and values but also their rich culture, cuisine, history, language, art, folklore, and even good humor," Amazon said in a statement.

It’s time to give Siri, Alexa, and other smart home devices a feminist reboot
siri alexa feminist reboot voice assistant feminism

A few years ago, when people figured out how to make Apple’s voice assistant swear, reporters were quick to blame the tech. “Siri’s got a bad mouth;” she gave a “shockingly inappropriate response” or a “randy robo response” to anyone who asked for a second definition of “mother.” When the voice assistant answers sassily to a request to divide zero by zero, we determine that she’s run amok and we’re one step away from Terminator times.

It’s easy to see why we anthropomorphize Siri and her A.I. brethren. She has a name and, apparently, a gender. But faulting a device -- not those who program it -- is a symptom of a much larger problem, according to Dr. Yolande Strengers, an associate professor, Department of Human Centred Computing at Monash University, and Dr. Jenny Kennedy, a postdoctoral research fellow at RMIT University, Melbourne. Their new book, Smart Wife: Why Siri, Alexa, and Other Smart Home Devices Need a Feminist Reboot, explores the harmful stereotypes that lie behind Alexa’s upbeat answers and Siri’s snark.
