Isn't this just an overpriced Zirtual? https://www.zirtual.com/plans-pricing

No. It's not even that similar. Zirtual is virtual/remote. Magic is physical/local.

$100 an hour sounds expensive. $1/minute might be a better published price. And also suggest that it's priced in minute increments.

This, of course, comes from Heinlein's "We Also Walk Dogs". Does Magic+ have anyone as good as Grace Cormet?

Really, really freaky. Especially all the copy about how "you can trust us" .

How is this that different that Google Now? Except there are actually people (at least some of the time) at the other end, rather than massive amounts of logged data and code?

> Q: What about the purchases that I make through Magic+?

> There is no markup on the purchases you make through Magic+. We find you the best deals that we can on every purchase, and we negotiate strongly with vendors. Often you will save more money using Magic+ than if you had done things yourself.

... I see a conflict of interest there.

Well, they're targeting people who want on demand helicopters. I feel like $100/hr makes sense given that context.

That would change the price of the hour. We can still say $1.66 per minute but less appealing than $1.
