What a dumb and ignorant article. "Can't be monetized": news shouldn't be monetized, and neither should personal assistants that tie together personal data and control of vital home systems. VAs are an operating system for all of the other products and services. You give away the printer or the razor handle, and charge for ink and razor blades. You give away the personal assistant, and charge for voices, ringtones, music, movies, groceries, apps, alarms, security features, and so on. If you're spending billions upon billions running a VA that's stagnant and not very good, then you suck as a CIO/CTO and shouldn't be trusted with that sort of budget.
