    I just need Tesco to come up with a "5 Minute Drone Delivery" option and my life will be complete.
    You'll still have to do the penguin shuffle to get to your front door to retrieve said bog rolls.

    MF's team is working on that.

    CES 2017: LG fridge is powered by Amazon's Alexa - BBC News

    LG has unveiled a fridge powered by Amazon's Alexa.
    The inclusion of the virtual assistant allows the device to be told to play music and buy goods via voice command.
    The Smart InstaView also has a 29in (73.7cm) touchscreen that can reveal what is inside and warn if products are near their expiration dates.

    there isn't some football player called "Computer"???

    Try the top post in thread or below.

    Here's how to change your Amazon Echo wake word:

    Open the Alexa app on your smartphone
    Open the menu by tapping to icon in the top left-hand corner
    Select settings, then select your Echo device
    Scroll down to "Wake Word" and select
    Use the drop-down menu to select Computer and hit save
