Amazon’s biggest asset is not the boxes. It’s Bezos’s awesome brain. First he did books. Then Kindles. then Amazon Web Services, the biggest cloud — bigger than Microsoft. Bigger than Google. Now comes Echo. In it is Alexa.<\/p>\n

\"alexas\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ask Alexa to stream your music, read you books, turn on your lights, get you an Uber, remind you of your dentist appointment and a million other things. It’s AI (artificial intelligence) at its most innovative. Every week it gets more skills. All for $50. I just ordered one. So did Michael. Click here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Turo.com is Airbnb for cars<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Have a car you’re not using for a few days, a week, a month, whatever? Rent it out as you do you house. You can earn between 65% and 90% of the rental price, depending on insurance options. My son rented a nice Mercedes ML350 to vist us in upstate New York over Christmas. It was a better, cheaper car than he could get from the usual suspects, Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, etc.<\/p>\n

The 98-year-old Mother Superior lay dying. The nuns gathered around her bed trying to make her last journey comfortable. They tried giving her warm milk to drink but she refused it.<\/p>\n

One of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen. Then, remembering a bottle of Irish Whiskey that had been received as a gift the previous Christmas, she opened it and poured a generous amount into the warm milk.<\/p>\n

Back at Mother Superior’s bed, they held the glass to her lips.<\/p>\n

The frail nun drank a little, then a little more and before they knew it, she had finished the whole glass down to the last drop.<\/p>\n

As her eyes brightened, the nuns thought it would be a good opportunity to have one last talk with their spiritual leader.<\/p>\n

“Mother,” the nuns asked. “Please give us some of your wisdom before you leave us.”<\/p>\n

Mother Superior raised herself in the bed, looked at them and said: “Don’t sell that cow.”<\/p>\n
