IoT podcast: When devices can talk, will they conspire against you?

Alex Hawkinson lives in the smartest house around. As the CEO of SmartThings, a company building a hub and cloud service for the internet of things, he’s playing with connected toys all the time and trying to get them to work together. In this podcast, we talk about SmartThings, how we may one day program our fridge door to lock if we don’t meet our fitness goals and how your smart house could foil your future surprise parties.
