These things are very popular gifts, which to me is the equivalent of giving someone a box of ground up asbestos. We were given one of the early Google ones (with receipt, thankfully). We returned it for a badass Logitech keyboard, a game controller, a Kitchen Aid hand mixer, walkie-talkies for the kids and a few other bits. Not only can I not believe that people allow a digital spy in their house, but that they pay so much for it.
Can you believe they used to have to do the grifting themselves? Truly an age of miracles and wonder.
