This seems like just another homing privacy invasion :/

We're going to be hearing a lot in the months and years to come about consumer and device data being swapped back and forth across the IoT. A lot of it will be hype. But beyond the cutesy stuff, there are some fascinating enterprise-scale applications that are emerging -- such as GE's concept of the "Industrial Internet," in which major components such as aircraft engines and generator turbines are outfitted with sensors that can radio performance data back to their makers. This is where the IoT will have a real impact, and it will be interesting to see where developers take these kinds of capabilities.
