Google now is always listening I'm Bridget Carey and this is your CNET update it seems Google's flagship Motorola phone the Moto X will not be sold at every carrier store when it rolls out at the end of August a t-mobile executive told the blog All Things D now the company will not be stocking the Moto X in stores immediately but people will be able to go to Motorola's website to purchase a model that works on the t-mobile network this phone is supposed to be sold at all major carriers but if it takes a while for it to get into t-mobile stores that's not good for the fate of the phone it'll be harder to make a dent in sales against Samsung if the Moto X isn't all over the place but then again one of the big selling features of this phone is being able to customize the color design and storage and to do that it would have to be purchased online anyway Motorola is also hoping it can get customers attention with its touchless controls like being able to always listen to your voice commands to turn it on and give it a command you don't have to touch it you just need to pick magic words okay Google now to set it up I had to teach the phone my voice so it won't respond to a man's voice but other women in the office were able to turn it on ok Google now if you use a password on your phone and you should it'll still let you use the ok Google now command to call someone without entering in your password which is nice for drivers for every other hands-free trick like playing a song sending a text or setting a reminder it won't grant your wish without a password Amazon is copying Pinterest with a new feature called Amazon collections where members can save share and discover new products by browsing and following other people's collections Amazon users can make separate lists for different things you can find the collection section in the drop down menu when hovering over your account and to add a product to your collection you just click the Add button below a product image but these add buttons are still being rolled out so you may not see it everywhere at first and Pinterest is taking on online shopping by adding price drop notifications to the items that you've pinned so it's not just a wish list it can be a sale tracker as well if you have Netflix keep an eye out for new digital profiles for different family members Netflix did have profiles before with DVD rental subscribers but now there are profiles for the streaming side to help keep settings personal so dad doesn't get kids shows in his recommendations when account gets up to five profiles and these profiles can be set up on the Netflix website or on the PlayStation 3 the profiles will be rolling out to devices over the next two weeks that your tech news update and you can dive into more details at cnet.com slash from our studios in New York I'm Bridget Carey
