The JoyPoll was...

What your explaination for those creepy laughing-for-no-reason Amazon Echos?

  • Haunted electronics.
  • Bad coding.
  • Really good coding.
  • It's the manifestation of Amazon laughing all the way to the bank.
  • It's probably just a weird advertising campaign. There's no such thing as bad publicity, plus who wouldn't want a listening and laughing device in their homes?

About us...

The Joy of Tech is a comic about technology and pop culture, created by Nitrozac and Snaggy, and updated three times a week. We like to feature the people and events that are making today's tech and pop culture news.

We've been making comics on the web since early 1999, starting off with After Y2K, and then The Joy of Tech, which is now in its whoa... 17th year!





You can follow us on Google+ at +Nitrozac JoT and +Snaggy JoT and +JoyofTech




We currently live on Vancouver Island, Canada, where we have a lovely perspective of the silicon valleys to the south. We make The Joy of Tech using Apple computers, mostly on our MacBook Pros, running Mac OS X. We use software from Apple, Adobe, BBedit, OpenOffice.org, and others, including Microsoft (yep, we do use Microsoft Office for Mac on occasion). Nitrozac uses a Wacom tablet to draw her illustrations.
