Today's Story Highlights
Smart Homes: The Power, the Pleasure and the Pain, Part 2
Smart homes are here. Although not every home is tricked out with the
latest technologies, they're no longer a rarity. For example, a hefty 41
percent of the respondents to an online survey conducted last year said
they already owned smart home devices. Sales of smart refrigerators and
washing machines more than doubled in 2017, and they will constitute
more than half the global market by 2021.

Mobility Steers Apple's New Education Strategy
Apple on Tuesday announced a refresh of its iPad as part of a new
approach to the education market. CEO Tim Cook and other Apple officials
also outlined a number of new education initiatives at an event held at
Lane Tech College Prep High School in Chicago. The new 32-gigabyte, 9.7-
inch iPad, which will sell to consumers for $329 and to students for
$299, has a more powerful processor -- Apple's Fusion A10 chip.

New Firefox Extension Builds a Wall Around Facebook
Mozilla has announced Facebook Container, a Firefox browser extension
that is designed to segregate users' activity on Facebook from their
other Web activity, limiting Facebook's ability to track them and gather
personal data. The extension is the culmination of more than two years
of research into developing a more private browsing experience, Mozilla
said.

Smart Homes: The Power, the Pleasure and the Pain
You've seen the ad: A family is vacationing out of town and the parents
suddenly wonder if the house is locked up properly. They use their
smartphone to remotely activate the smart locks and security system. Or
this one: Someone rings the doorbell or merely approaches a home, and
the homeowner uses a smartphone to speak through the video doorbell
system, even when not at home.
