Google can help you find the perfect Halloween costume. KFC's other 11 Herbs and Spices. Twitter will fix everything next week. Amazon HQ2 shenanigans. Get your Amazon deliveries in your house. The Reaper botnet is very, very big. Essential phone slashing prices. Snap Spectacles didn't sell well. Harman Kardon Invoke speaker with Cortana sounds muddy, and is not very smart.
