Google, Apple face trouble but remain must-own stocks

If you automate your home enough, hackers might be able to hack your air conditioner to never shut off -- and leave you with a huge electric bill.

Or turn on the water and flood your house -- causing catastrophic damage.

And your automated home will even let hackers know when you are away so that, when you return, it's too late to do anything about it.

Wait 'till hackers attack millions of homes via badly insecure internet connected devices.
