> Amazon servers have no business being between my phone and my vacuum.

Actually, that's exactly where their business exists.



Exactly. The power to step on your air hose.


I think he meant it from a purely technical standpoint... (curious use of the word 'business')

I think you're both right.


"to have no business" is an idiom. It's not strange at all.


> curious use of the word 'business'

I'd explain, but it's none of my business.

Ah, hell, why not. You see, he made it his business to point out that the phone-vacuum communication has no business going through Amazon servers, there's simply no need.


it's a bit like a pun, because by doing that they make a business (and a profit) out of sticking their noses where they shouldn't
