When I was younger, I dreamed of something like this. Voice control for my home! A Star Trek computer that I can interact with conversationally! I just say what I want and it happens!<p>Now, I just see an internet-connected microphone in a software black box which I can only interpret as a giant frickin&#x27; security liability. I <i>want</i> this, but unless it&#x27;s open source top-to-bottom, I won&#x27;t ever actually put one in my home. We know too much about how these things can be abused for me to ever seriously consider it without being able to verify for myself what it&#x27;s doing and why.
