It's always listening to you and comes from a division of Facebook run by the former head of DARPA, so what could possibly be creepy about Facebook's new hardware experiment, Portal?
Facebook bills Portal as a video-calling device designed to always be on – making distant friends and relatives more accessible. Portal is a 10-inch display (1200x800) and Portal+ a 15-inch HD whopper. It comes with Alexa built in, and is priced for mass appeal: $199 and $349.
