In the UK, the Telegraph reports that “Amazon has embarked on a major hiring push for a secretive new device, in a move that will increase speculation the company plans to release a robot for the home.”
According to the story, the company has been advertising for “experts in mechanical engineering and robotics as well as software developers to work on a ‘completely new best in class consumer product’.” The ads also describe, without any elaboration, that the new product will be “lovable” and “essential.”
People being hired for the product - reportedly in Seattle and California - are not being told what the product is until their first day on the job, the story says.

So cool. Of course, I’m thinking Data here. Hoping it doesn’t end up being the Terminator.
