On this week's episode of HomeTech: We're joined once again by good friend of the show Richard Gunther to discuss the ongoing struggles of companies like Apple, Nest, Staples, and Samsung to penetrate the connected home.
That plus... selling fear in the tech press. Will TiVo's core business now become patent-trolling? And mount your Amazon Echo to the ceiling because, why not?
Thanks as always for listening! Enjoy the show? Please consider supporting our efforts by becoming a Patron.
