You can back this Alexa-powered Terminator smart speaker on Kickstarter — and bring us one step closer to the robot apocalypse

You can now pre-order a smart speaker that's built in the shape of the head of the human killing robots from "The Terminator" series. The polished alloy gadget is a dead-ringer for the ones that tormented Sarah Connor, only it's voiced and powered by Alexa, not Arnold Schwarzenegger or — worse yet — Skynet.
