Amazon's Alexa assistant is coming to LG refrigerators

Last year, LG brought a refrigerator to CES that ran Windows 10, showing the a world a device that could keep food cold and play minesweeper. Specifically, LG's new icebox is a full-on Amazon Alexa device. Think of it as a really big Amazon Echo. Amazon Echo VP Mike George says the refrigerator will offer the "full Alexa experience," including the ability to check weather, play music, tell jokes and, of course, order food from Amazon Prime Pantry. It sounds almost a little silly -- why not simply have an Echo in the Kitchen -- but it's kind of neat when considered alongside the InstaView's other features.
