    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, search for particular movies or television shows. You can even look up local restaurants if you need dinner after your binge-watching session ate up your lunch.
