Amazon's Fire TV will now listen to more of your commands

Lots of people yell things at their televisions. Nowadays, however, it's a lot more likely that your television is going to talk right back. Amazon on Tuesday announced that it is adding new features to its voice-activated app, Alexa, as it works with its Fire TV set-top box, empowering the assistant to start videos and search for movies or television shows. You can even look up local restaurants if you need dinner after your binge-watching session ate up your lunch. The company said that those features and others, such as being able to have Alexa read you your Kindle e-books through your Fire TV, would launch in the "coming weeks."
