I expected to be able to stream music as usual from the Echo speakers while the TV was off, then flip it on to stream video when I wanted. And when I manually turned off the TV, the music also stopped. The other big problem I ran into was streaming music. Alas, streaming music on the connected Echoes automatically turned on the TV, which scrolled lyrics to the songs.
The Echo, with its slightly better low range, sounds slightly better to my ear when playing Johnny Cash's gravelly baritone in Hurt, whereas the Nest Audio sounds slightly crisper in its treatment of Lianne La Havas's subtle vibrato in No Room for Doubt. 6:34
That said, if you prefer more acoustic music, the Nest Audio provides marginally better performance of complex, midrange-heavy songs. Both speakers, though, really capture the texture of vocal-heavy music.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the 30-year rate ticked down to 5.09% from 5.1% last week. Higher borrowing rates appear to be slowing the housing market, a crucial sector of the economy.
In April, sales of both existing homes and new homes showed signs of faltering, worsened by sharply higher home prices and a shrunken supply of available properties. By contrast, the average rate stood at 2.99% a year ago.
Teenage employment has already topped pre-pandemic levels even though the overall job market still hasn´t. And the pay available to them - $15 or $16 an hour for entry-level work - is drawing some back into the job market.
Researchers at Drexel University´s Center for Labor Markets and Policy predicted in a report last month that an average of 33% of youths ages 16 to 19 will be employed each month from June through August this year, the highest such rate since 34% in the summer of 2007.
That's a bit more conservative than Google's array of pastels, but again, many of these aesthetic distinctions feel like minor quibbles. The Echo comes in three colors: the standard charcoal (black) and glacier white, plus a muted twilight blue.
First-time applications generally track the number of layoffs. Applications for unemployment benefits fell by 11,000 to 200,000 for the week ending May 28, the Labor Department reported Thursday. The four-week average for claims, which evens out some of the weekly volatility, dipped by 500 from the previous week to 206,500.
A team of Brazilian police divers recovered the speedboat that was used by British journalist Dom Phillips and Brazilian indigenous expert Bruno Pereira to travel Brazil's Amazon before they were killed.
Amarildo ‘Pelado' Oliveira, 41, who had been under arrest on a firearm ammunition possession charge since June 7 and was held in temporary custody as part of the investigation, confessed to shooting Phillips and Pereria last Wednesday.
In a year both Google and Apple launched new $100 smart speakers, Amazon had to make its fourth-gen Echo smart speaker stand out. And at least in design, it did: the Alexa countertop device is shaped like a sphere, a striking departure from the soft-cylindrical speakers of past generations. Six years after the first Echo launched 10,000 (or at least a few dozen) smart speakers, a reimagined design was overdue.
Trading has been choppy in recent days as investors remain worried about inflation and the interest rate increases the Federal Reserve is using to fight it. The benchmark index has risen 7.1% since coming to the edge of a bear market two weeks ago. Technology stocks were among the winners as Microsoft erased an early loss. The S&P 500 rose 1.8%.
The projected depletion date for Medicare´s trust fund for inpatient hospital care moved back two years to 2028 from last year´s forecast of 2026. The annual Social Security and Medicare trustees report released Thursday states that Social Security´s trust fund will be unable to pay full benefits in 2035, instead of last year´s estimation of 2034.
Phillips, a 57-year-old freelance reporter, was doing research for a book on the trip with the 41-year-old Pereira, a former head of isolated and recently contacted tribes at federal indigenous affairs agency Funai.
A factory near Cleveland Kindle will be expanded so it can build an unidentified new electric commercial vehicle, with 1,800 new jobs.
A plant in Claycomo, Missouri, near Kansas City, that makes big electric and combustion-engine vans will get a third shift of 1,100 workers. And in Michigan, the company will add 2,000 jobs at three assembly plants as well as another 1,200 at other facilities. The company says it will invest $3.7 billion in the three states, and it will convert about 3,000 temporary workers to full-time status with benefits.
Google's recent Nest Audio is vaguely rectangular, and Apple's soon-to-launch HomePod Mini is similarly spheroidal. Ball is life The best changes to the fourth-gen Echo might be sound quality and home smarts, but the most obvious change is its spherical design. Of course, this design isn't some aesthetic revelation: Most smart speakers look basically interchangeable at this point, with a layer of fabric mesh over soft geometric shapes.
