I see a trip to New Jersey in my future so I can explore the heavens in spectacular beauty.

That’s right, Marriott Hotels are replacing their traditional hotel rooms with “smart rooms” full of smart devices that connect to your cell phone, giving you control over everything from the door lock to the drapes from anywhere you may be. While all this control really boosts your convenience quotient, there is a serious downside: the “Bluetooth signal sent from your smartphone might be unencrypted and could be hacked from up to 15 feet away. Somebody could go in and intercept your key. They could also track your locations and if somebody can steal that digital signature they can run up charges that you would have to pay for.”
