“I can see all of the devices in your home and I think I can control them,” I said to Thomas Hatley, a complete stranger in Oregon who I had rudely awoken with an early phone call on a Thursday morning.
He and his wife were still in bed. Expressing surprise, he asked me to try to turn the master bedroom lights on and off. Sitting in my living room in San Francisco, I flipped the light switch with a click, and resisted the Poltergeist-like temptation to turn the television on as well.

This morning NPR had a brief and unsatisfying report on how easily cars can be hacked: once someone hacks into a car's computer, they can control the radio, steering, brakes....
I guess this is just the price we pay for automation. It's very fortunate we have people checking up on company practices.
I find more and more that NPR's reporting is unsatisfying.
